If you have recently purchased a new bookcase and you are looking to fill that with all kinds of books, you need to know what to purchase. There are many great books that everyone should think about having in their home library. The following are ways to find new books to add to your personal collection. 

Look Through Lists of Recent Bestsellers

As you are looking for new books to add to your home library, don’t overlook those that were written recently. There are several good fiction and nonfiction books that come out each year, and you should look through some of the lists of bestsellers to see what interests you and what you feel will fit with the collection of books that you already have. You can also find blogs that go into depth about new releases. They will likely rate them and let you know which ones are worth reading and buying. 

Search Online to Find Classics You Need to Own

If there are some classics that you do not have in your library, you should do searches online to find newly printed versions of those books. There are certain books that everyone should own, and you should find some of those classics to put on your bookcase. 

Add Some Books That Stretch You Out of Your Reading Comfort Zone

You might be tempted to only purchase fiction books or to only purchase books from a single publisher. You need to purchase a wide variety of books, though, and stretch yourself a bit when it comes to reading. You should consider books from a Puerto Rican poet, and you should consider biographies of people who have lived lives that are much different from your own. You can find new genres of books by visiting a bookstore in person. You can read the descriptions and see if any book covers catch your attention. The store associates can also direct you to their favorites and recommend books you otherwise wouldn’t have known about. 

Consider Joining Fiction Groups on Social Media

If you are having a hard time finding books that you want to purchase, you might consider joining a group on social media where people discuss what they are reading and share recommendations. Some groups are focused on specific types of books – such as religious novels – and some groups are simply focused on reading, in general. You can find a group where you will feel welcomed and where you will be able to get suggestions regarding what you should buy. Book clubs both online and in-person are great ways to expand your book collection. 

No one should have an empty bookcase in their home, and you can find all kinds of new books to add to your home library. Be sure to pick out a good mix of books as you are investing your money in reading materials. Use some of the above tips when finding new books to read or buy.
