A Step up on the B&N List
I got some good news tonight: Marley & Me clicked up one notch on the Barnes & Noble Store Nonfiction Bestseller List for the week ending Nov. 19, moving to #5. The list is based on sales for the week at all B&N stores, and it puts me in line after Frank McCourt at #1, Jimmy Carter at #2, Doris Kearns Goodwin at #3 and Thomas Friedman at #4. And it puts me before Al Franken at #6 and Joan Didion at #7.
To read the complete B&N List, go to: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/bestsellers/warnew_rnav.asp?PID=6873&userid=xI47sclBkh&cds2Pid=6848&linkid=493185
Yesterday (Sunday, November 20) I moved up to #9 on The New York Times Bestseller List, and I'm scheduled to move up to #8 next Sunday. (The Times has a two-week delay between the counting week and the publication of that week's list.)
A little more market news: Target stores nationally will begin carrying Marley & Me beginning Thanksgiving weekend. And I've received reports from readers that Kroger supermarkets also are now carrying it in their limited books sections.
And finally, the big-volume warehouse club Costco will be carrying the book, but not beginning until after the New Year.
So I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. And believe me, I'll be giving thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
