What can you do?
That, and I think it's fairly rare for books that have sold extremely well to win a Hugo. I could be wrong about that, but it seems that way to me. And there's nothing wrong with trying to elevate books no one has heard of, assuming they are deserving books.

But when I worked at the library, I gave a few previous Hugo winners a shot. Meh. Not my thing.
