Another random question

I saw this posted on an author group I follow on Facebook, how do you discover new authors? A lot of people said tic tok, which I have yet to venture into, but it did make me curious how others discover new, potentially favorite go to authors. I’ve been seriously reading for I would say 6 or 7 years, so I don’t always have time to read someone new. I follow so many authors that I typically have plenty to read from their new releases. I think Claire Kingsley was probably my last author I added to my regular rotation a little over a year ago. I started with Hidden Gems and found quite a few that way, and then Bookbub gave me some more. I’m pretty sure that’s where I found Mignon Mykel, from Interference being a freebie. Over the years I’ve read and reread every single one of her books. Kait Nolan was one of my first authors I started arcing for. I came across Know Me Well I think on just a free search on Amazon and quickly started reading her back list. I’m leery to take the recommendations from people on social media because tastes can vary so much. Your favorite trope could be my least favorite, its so subjective. So tell me, how do you find new authors to read?
