New Year Blessings

[edenzdream]

I count my blessings a lot these days. Aside from the most important: God, family and superb friends...good crit partners, a growing list of readers/friends and the stories in my head still waiting for me to give them life

This was in today's Publisher's Lunch. Maybe next year it will be about you. Amazing!

2008 Sales: Meyer the New Rowling

Stephenie Meyer sold over 15 million books in the US in 2008, and that's just in outlets tracked by Nielsen Bookscan, where various editions of her books claimed 9 of the top 50 spots for the year. That total sale is millions of copies more than Rowling's tracked sales from books in the top 50 last year, when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tracked 7,740,000 units, and two other titles on the list gave her sales of 8.6 million copies. (NB, that doesn't include other backlist editions that did not sell enough to make the top 50.)

Meyer occupies 6 of the top 15 slots, as books for children (at least in part) dominated the top of the list. Christopher Paolini and JK Rowling both made the top ten, and two of Jeff Kinney's "wimpy kid" books made the top 20.
bout you. :)

Ooh, a film festival would be very exciting.

So happy for all you've achieved, and I know you have a brilliant future ahead of you.
