Dec 1, 2022There’s never been a moment in my life where I’ve happened to glance the “bestsellers” list and thought “oh I’ve heard about that book” let alone “oh I’ve heard about that book, it’s supposed to be really good”
Never seen anyone reading any of that s*** either
Idk it just all sounds like a load of bullshit to me

A lot of the completely random best sellers that you see are just bought in bulk by the publisher to pump the numbers. The list even has an icon to signify when this occurred.
