rub it in, Laura

Books sales turn up

Maybe it’s a yu-tuber!

Maybe a future movie or TV deal

I’m still waiting for the sequels, The Persnickety Parsnip and The Cantankerous Carrot.

Sales are way up because Florida banned it.

For my mom it was Amazon adding it to some list or another, old book took off out of nowhere.

They are being bought to replace all those books being pulled from schools and burned.

I’m very happy for you, Laura.

Now—how is the new book coming along??

Hopefully, you’ll end up as another J. K. Rowling.

Movie version finally coming out?

Maybe Therese Coffey has been buying millions of copies for her friends

Not so strange Laura. When I find a book I like I go to fantastic fiction dot com to see if there are other books by the same author. I may end up reading other books by that author.

I thought that was the Black Eyed Peas.

Way up is relative. 10 is way up from 1.

Next step, Adam blows the extra money on something silly

Did Turnip do a crossover in one of the MUC movies?

“… it came out years ago.” When our kids were the exact ages they are now.

Rumours of a movie deal?

Seems like only yesterday….

Because somebody mentioned the book in the comments a few days ago.

It is always nice to have a turn-up in sales…

It’s probably the only book on the “no offense” book list for grade schools.

Maybe they thought it was a cookbook detailing what to do with spoiled produce?

Go, Laura!

No, but wretchedness does seem to be the coming thing.

sometimes it just takes a while for a work of art to find its audience

The Wretched Turnip anagrams to Chirped Nut Whetter. Or Churned Hep Twitter.

Simple explanation. You like a book and its author, you look for other books by the same author. It’s a win-win…..

Maybe it achieved book club status.

That book might even put them in the next tax bracket…trouble ahead, unless, I hope, she has the income allocated evenly by the publisher, otherwise, a big tax bill will follow…

I’ve seen this many times working in bookshops. An author will have several-to-many books out when one hits. Suddenly, their back catalog becomes very desirable.

If kale had a moment, why not turnip?

What’s the name of her second book? I only remember the turnip book.
