What’s your thought process on deciding your next book?

Finding my next book always feels like a difficult and challenging process. I often start books that don’t fully engage me, even when they fall within my areas of interest. While I’ve read some truly amazing and life-changing books, I sometimes feel like I’m chasing that same high again, similar to how drug addicts chase the dragon. Does anyone have methods or approaches they use to make this process easier? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
