A change to allow multiple categories would be welcome.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-20318489417213835842008-09-17T03:20:00.000-06:002008-09-17T03:20:00.000-06:00I just had a look at the Deserret Book website, an...I just had a look at the Deserret Book website, and why is there an Emily Brightwell mystery in the top 15 "LDS Mystery-Suspense" list? I don't remember ever hearing that she is LDS, nor does her website mention anything about her religion. And if she is LDS, then why aren't the Anne Perry books listed here as well, instead of solely in the "Mystery-Suspense" category?<BR/><BR/>In fact, why are there only 15 books in that category anyway? Surely there are more than that in the LDS market!<BR/><BR/>Weird. Really weird. When it comes to things moving in mysterious ways, Deseret Book really takes the cake!Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-15386865777907366992008-09-17T00:01:00.000-06:002008-09-17T00:01:00.000-06:00I was told the the list is a running three month t...I was told the the list is a running three month total. If that is still (or ever was) the case, then each evening when the list updates, it drops the sales from 90 days ago and adds the sales from that day. Is that right?<BR/><BR/>LyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-1139192697569010882008-09-16T19:09:00.000-06:002008-09-16T19:09:00.000-06:00LDSP, I think they've updated the site since you c...LDSP, I think they've updated the site since you checked it.

I've often wondered why books from four or five years ago (or more) are listed higher than newer books that are selling really well.Danyelle Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006907198681924095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-45183560487731767322008-09-16T10:11:00.000-06:002008-09-16T10:11:00.000-06:00I've also heard (from another DB author) that the ...I've also heard (from another DB author) that the website bestseller list only goes by online sales.Allyson Condiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384196403099270156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-89129879022589319542008-09-16T09:40:00.000-06:002008-09-16T09:40:00.000-06:00Isn't this also only a relative sales volume of bo...Isn't this also only a relative sales volume of books sold at DB retails stores. It doesn't track other compeititor store sales like seagull. How often does the tracking list update? I was told once a week. Once every three days. Every evening.
