    When everybody is reading the same stuff, it means it is either very good (like Dickens) or they are just a bunch of sheep reading what they hear about on social media. I’m sure the publishers don’t care one way or another though 🙂

      I think they find their books from either TikTok or the best seller lists. That signifies that the readers are mostly younger and older readers.
