You women love that mommy porn, huh?
It’s too late to deny it. Wanna know how I know? GalleyCat reports that E.L. James’ erotic Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has sold a cool, combined total of ten million books (paperbacks, eBooks, and audiobooks) in six short weeks.
SIX WEEKS!
So sayeth Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group president Anthony Chirico:
This is an astonishing number. The sales velocity for Fifty Shades of Grey is unprecedented, with reader demand still growing. BookScan data indicates that the trilogy has captured twenty-five percent of the adult fiction market in recent weeks.
Damn, son. I’m try’na get me a piece of that horny woman market share.
In book sales, people. In book sales. Ha!
I still can’t believe a piece of fanfiction in disguise managed to get so successful. Whatever works for the author, I guess? xD
I must say curiousity got the better of me & I got this book today. I have read the first 3 chapters and am hooked. It’s written in a way that draws you in. It hasn’t moved onto the romping bits yet. Might change my mind if the story line goes & just turns into a rompathon. Well done on 10 million copies. I wish it was my book.
