Booklist and Amazon Best Seller

It was a busy week for The Noth­ing With­in.

American Library Association’s Booklist

Book­list is the ALA’s book review jour­nal, read by loads of librar­i­ans, library patrons, and book fans. Thanks to a part­ner­ship between BlueInk Review and the ALA, the Octo­ber 15th edi­tion of Book­list includ­ed a review of The Noth­ing With­in. One of my rel­a­tives, who’s a school librar­i­an, hap­pened across the review by chance while brows­ing Book­list—a nice surprise.

Amazon Rush

Last week­end the book was pro­mot­ed on a read­er mail­ing list with mil­lions of sub­scribers. As a result, so many peo­ple pur­chased it at Ama­zon that it reached the #1 Ama­zon Best Sell­er spot in two eBook categories:

• Lit­er­ary Action-Adventure
• Dark Fan­ta­sy

Inter­est on Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo last week­end were very encour­ag­ing, too.

(Of course, that best sell­er sta­tus was tem­po­rary. Still…fun while it lasted.)
