I would second Deeds of Paksenarrion, especially if you like Baldur’s Gate. It captures the feel of a D&D-like world and plot very well (pseudo-medival world, dwarves/elves/orcs/etc, cults of evil gods, shining (stuck-up) paladin orders, farm girl who leaves home for adventure, so on and so forth), but Moon adds a level of depth and ethical nuance that is usually missing from such adventure/quest focused fantasy.

Elizabeth Moon in general is one of my go-to authors when I want a standard sci-fi or fantasy story that I know will be excellently executed, include interesting elements that set it apart and will not make my roll my eyes or hold my nose like a lot of older genre stuff does. She wrote a lot in both sci-fi and fantasy and was very consistent.

I find I get the best new book ideas from people rather than lists or goodreads or more generic recommendations. Things like talking about books (online or in person), reading book discussions, following authors I like on social media (for updates on new books and also because often if I like an authors books I’ll like the books/authors they talk about) and following reviewers whose taste that meshes with mine (there are tons of people reviewing books online for any niche you can think of, for example I’ve been following this blog that reviews 50s-80s SFF for a decade+ and gotten so many reads from him).

It’s not just US only, I know someone in Canada who has the overdrive integration for their public library working on their kobo. It does vary by country though.
