yeah i think it’s also because back then, we didn’t have booktoks and bookstagrams and blogs and goodreads and amazons and all the other avenues where tons and tons of books are advertised and talked about all day every day.

back then you either heard about books from your friends or the media, or you went to the library and explored for yourself.

when a book series got attention it got a lot of it because everyone’s attention wasn’t divided in all these different places, we all watched the same channels and read the same magazines.
