Recommendations from people who've liked books that I've liked. Or better yet, loved the books that I loved. Lately I just read Kristen's blog (fantasycafe.blogspot.com) since I've discovered we have remarkably similar tastes, it's amazing and awesome.
Before, I used Listmania on Amazon to get ideas, then read through reviews to see if it's something I would enjoy. Also, if a book is widely praised and discussed, I would take a chance. I almost never buy from a physical bookstore and then, never books that I'm not familiar with.

Recommendations from my husband or people here are the most likely.

I would say anyone with a passing familiarity with Lovecraft, but you seem to be an exception. *NM*

Snappy titles, or long kooky titles?

Re: I don't do the first and middle pages test. It's too unreliable.

Very rarely do I buy a book that I don't know anything about beforehand...
