Jane and I are back again with our tabulation of this past week’s bestsellers, calculated using the order reports from our affiliate programs. Jane’s commentary: “I think the $.99 price of Courtney Milan’s book is what giving the story staying power on the list. Grace Burrowes and Susanna Kearsley’s stories are part of Amazon’s Sunshine deals.” What are you trying to say, there, J? We like bargains and sales? Heh. I should say we do. Books that are avidly recommended all over the place, too, I think. Unlocked by Courtney Milan Yours To Keep by Shannon Stacey Captives of the…

Seeing this article made me ponder how books are labeled and sold, both online and off, and I had to ask myself: have I ever bought a book from an author I haven’t heard of just because the cover said, ‘New York Times Bestseller?’ Nope, I haven’t. I remember being…
