I've just had 35 paperback sales of the same book. Should I jump for joy, or is this an anomaly? Has anyone else had this happen?

But it could be good too. Which one was it?
I do hope it's for real. [-O<
It'll push it up the rankings.
But I can't really understand it...
Whoop whoop de doop.
Is this on Amazon? Sales there don't show up until payment has been processed and books dispatched, so it's likely to be real.
*checks the figure is still there... it is*
I still find it very strange how amateur writers get found by strangers. Whatever I did, I wish I could do it again, but I don't know what it was.
It should be made law with strict prison sentences for those who fail to oblige.
It could have been as a result of the Goodreads thing.
Either way, enjoy your sales success!
Imagine a whole class of children discussing your book, and in years to come telling their own children about it. You could become a Legend!
At least I have my TB champions to inject a bit of positivity and enthusiasm into my life!
Yeah!
Keep us posted if you hear anything further to this.
Yes, I will! Don't you worry about that.
Oh, it doesn't matter, Liz. I don't want to mislead.
So, still baffled by the above, I had a nose. It seems that that 'big sale' of one book was not due to a sole purchaser after all. There are little biddy sales all over the States from west to east with the highest number (7) in Rochester, New York, and the next (4) in Washington DC. After that, there are sales of 1 or 2 in 13 other states.
It is SO peculiar as to how all those people made that purchase on the same day. I would absolutely LOVE to know how it happened.
Anyway, that's the update. And I'm none the wiser.
