How to choose a novel?

I normally just read reviews and see other books related to the books I know that I already love. Normally on Amazon you can choose your favorite books and it will show you what other people who bought or liked that book purchased. it's a starting point and you can read the reviews and see if it's something you'd be interested in. i'm also one of those that judge a book by the cover, so something that is eye catching always catches my interest lol

Read the synopsis of the book. If it interest you then good if not then don’t buy it.
