I'm always looking out for good websites to find new books.
On Twitter, I follow:
NPR books, Huffington Post books, NYTimes books, amazon books, Barnes & Noble Book Clubs, Powell's books, SPL buzz (Seattle public library), kcls (King County Library), fridayreads and Nancy Pearl
On Facebook, I "like":
NPR books, Powell's books, Third Place Books, Elliot Bay Book Company, University Bookstore, Nancy Pearl (you'll see a theme with this), The Seattle Public Library and King County Library System
Websites I peruse:
Nancy Pearl's blog on nancypearl.com (though her old blog on the SPL website was so much more useful with book suggestions twice a month!!...oh, I miss it)
NPR's arts and life section
How do you find out about new titles and must reads?
I live it when NPR has authors on. It could be a subject I care nothing about, but listening to an author dish on their book, I usually end up excited to read them. I just got Apollo's Angels, a history of ballet from the library, not because I like ballet or anything, but because after listening to the author I just had to read it. But this doesn't seem like new info to you, it sounds like you follow NPR too.
