Today I heard from my agent, and the NYT mass market bestseller list for January 23, 2011 will show Frostfire coming in at #32 on the extended list. There was much tough competition from huge names, and many rollover titles, and since the list was calculated only four days after my release date probably only about half of my first week sales counted toward it. For all those reasons #32 is a genuinely awesome showing.Plus it's the Times. Come on, who is going to cry about making the Times list, wherever one's book lands? Not me.
Since no one picked #32 (and that is partly my fault for suggesting numbers 1-30; the extended list actually runs to #35 -- I forgot this) I put the names of everyone who participated into the magic hat, and the winner of the Odd Times pool is:

ReplyDeleteWow, you managed the NY Times list with only a partial calculation of sales? Just goes to show you how not only do you deliver a wonderful read, but you do it consistently enough that we all know to get the book right when it comes out.
