[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9635015, member: 1405"] I do not pay attention to Hugo awards. I discovered a long time ago that the award in no way matches the type of book I may enjoy. I [I]like[/I] to browse books at the bookstore. I [I]love[/I] the experience of exploring the shelves, seeing a cover or title that interests me, reading the blurb and taking a chance. That browsing experience has bitten for the last few years. I have not left with a new book in 2 years. The covers are no longer compelling and the monotone nature of them just makes browsing a blur. The online experience for book discovery is awful in comparison. I spend my time trying to look at websites of major publishers to see what may be coming out. I do not use tiktok, twitter, FB, etc so I do not get the "feeds" from those publishers. My main discovery mode for books now is friends and coworkers or just adding authors to favorite lists and picking up their new books. [/QUOTE]
