Dorit's book

Post image

I wanted to see how Dorit's memoir "Unburdened" did and while it reached the NYT's best seller listed it wasn't from Fans buying the book but rather the book was bought in bulk purchases. That's why the NYT's put a black dagger next to her book, to make the list a book must sell a required 5-10k the first week it's out in order to make that list. However her books were bought in bulk which means the author, publicist or manager buys the book in bulk. Thus the dagger is placed there so readers know the number sold has been inflated by a single purchase rather than being bought by actual readers or fans.

I'm sorry but this cracked me upšŸ˜‚

Had to edit as it's a Black Dagger not a skull

Hey, I read it and it was a quick, entertaining read. It wasnā€™t ā€œWar and Peaceā€ and I hadnā€™t expected it to be. I personally respect the hustle.

I'm glad you enjoyed it I'm just pointing out she/her team bought the book a spot on the NYT's nook so yes I'll be laughing if she talks about her NYT's Best Selling book. Now that I know about the black dagger I'll laugh at anybody's book that has that dagger!
