Open Minds is a Bestseller ... in France!

The French are just now getting their new Kindles (that started shipping recently) and the first sale of Open Minds in France rocketed me up the bestseller list for teens in Science Fiction and Fantasy!

Was it because my lovely French friend (who had an e-ARC of Open Minds) posted a review on Amazon.fr? It's certainly due to the fact that the French are just starting to buy books there, so it doesn't take much in sales to get on the bestseller list. Yet, I have to admit to being thrilled at being anywhere near Hunger Games on the Bestseller list anywhere in the world!

Merci to my French friends!

  3. I don't care what that's a list of or how it came to be, having your book between Mockingjay and Divergent is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

  10. @Michael No, it's still in English. There a plenty of English-reading types in Europe, surprisingly. Although I know some people who are looking at getting translations for their work, once there's enough demand. :) Thanks for stopping by!
