Dan | The Ancient Reader
added a status update
I am clearly not a reader of recently published books...at least not the popular ones. Of the 340 books nominated for the GR Best Books of 2022, I have exactly one on any of my shelves and that one's not on my Read shelf.

So true. Many of these books have cult appeal for awhile, then nothing. All I read is literary fiction. I don't want to waste my time on cute.

I totally get it, Dan. Of the 33,000,000+ published books that we can be choosing to spend time with in the 365 of one year, what got published this year can hardly take up much space on my reading list! 🤣
I think the thing here is "nominated". This is a very oblique process. I think it is probably authors and publishers that pay. GR's promotion program is huge because essentially it can reach every Kindle reader who click on books to purchase just like that, and GR is run by Kindle.
