As others have stated, Goodreads is owned by Amazon so they often use similar databases to promote what is selling/popular to get even more sales. Colleen Hoover had multiple books in the top 10 best selling books of 2022 I believe, so they’ll be leaning into that.
I never use Goodreads for anything other than tracking my books as it is now quite influenced by the capitalist ideals of Amazon. I, like you, love horror and fantasy and that never seems to be what I get recommended.
