Still working my way through the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, but otherwise I haven't really read any other novels in a while, and the stuff that usually tops the NYT Best Sellers list overall typically don't interest me

Yes. Outlive was really good and inspired me to see a cardiologist based on my family history.

I read quite a bit, in fact literally just put down a book but nothing on this list. I tend to read long series, stuff that has been out awhile and has a number of books in them. Not current stuff.

I like to read and do so on public transit for an hour or two each week, but I don't generally read the latest trendy book because I get my books from the library and there is a wait list on anything popular. In addition, I might not get through a book in three weeks and you can't renew a book if there's a wait list, so I might return a book unfinished and return to the wait list.

Out of the list, Ive read Red, White, & Royal Blue and Fourth Wing.

Both books are worthy of the praise.

My wife read fourth wing and basically described it like a sexy college-aged version of Harry Potter. Really liked it, along with all her horny female friends in their 30s.

That's true for Conservative political books I think. I don't know if they do it for fiction books

Really?

I feel like if you walk into a Barnes and Noble, Target, or even a Walmart all those books are heavily promoted.

Colleen Hoover is hard to avoid. My Barnes and Nobles plasters her books all over the window display.

Yup, shes everywhere and continues to dominate in sales.

I havent ever read any of her books, though.

How about you? And your wife?

I think the general consensus is that they are quick, trashy reads. Lots of romance and sex.

Nothing too deep.

Just a reminder that conservative authors have been manipulating the best seller lists for decades.

Wealthy donors class people and moneyed PACs will buy up books in large quantities, and its not too hard to simply get a book on the best seller list for one week.

Going forward, that right wing author can appear on mainstream media shows as "New York Times Bestselling Author" - and technically it's true! An oil billionaire or venture capitalist bought 10,000 copies of your book once.
