STATUS: Even though I look absolutely ridiculous doing a happy dance, I’m doing it anyway! White woman overbite. Here I come.
What’s playing on the XM or iPod right now? THE LOAD OUT by Jackson Browne
This is just getting impossible. If I keep hitting crazy milestones, what will I have to look forward to? Last year, I had 3 authors on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time.
Then it happened twice in one year. Fabulous. Where to go next?
How about 4 authors on the NYT list at the same time? And 3 of them on the top 150 USA Today Bestseller list at the same time as well.
Yep! That’s the news that hit my inbox about an hour ago. And here they are.
At #19 on the Trade Paperback list and #146 on USA Today
At #9 on the Children’s list
At #11 on the Mass Market paperback list and #109 on USA Today
At #13 on the eBook listand #59 on USA Today
When I got into this biz, this wasn’t something I ever imagined so the reality is not quite real. Maybe it will sink in tomorrow…

The covers are ALL awesome. Obviously the content delivers. There are so many layers to creating these amazing stories. Dance and sing!
Readers are thrilled too, though they’ll never know the depth of gratitude they owe to you. So I’ll say it for all those clueless readers, Thanks, Kristen, for being you.
That is absolutely fantastic, Kristen. Congratulations!

Congratulations to you all!
Congratulations! It is obvious that you have the skill and knowledge to know a successful novel when you see it. And congrats to all your authors for sharing their excellent work with us!!
That must be a great feeling! Congrats!
Congrats! Having devoured it this week I KNOW Ally Carter’s “Uncommon Criminals” deserves to be on that Best Seller list and I’m sure the others do too!
Congratulations! This is fantastic news!
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet has been on bestseller lists for awhile, now, hasn’t it?
YAY!!!
Awesome news–you deserve to happy dance!
Isn’t it lovely to read about a ‘good news’ event:):):) congratulations to everyone involved…

I’m so happy for you. You deserve to do the happy dance!
I’m confused about something. I thought the NY Times doesn’t accept self published books on their list. I’m thrilled for Courtney, but how did Unlocked get on the NY Times ebook list if it’s self published? Does this mean they will allow other self-published authors on their list now?
I haven’t read the other books. But I did read…and re-read…”Hotel” and thought it was the best book I’d read in years. I seriously want this to be number one now!!
Can you pick ’em or what?
Seriously, congratulations to you and each one of the authors for making the list. That’s amazing!
C’mon, Milestones!!!! (No, really, it’s all right. Keep ’em coming.)

CONGRATULATIONS! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer agent!

Some other self-published books have been on the list. (Barbara Freethy, John Locke, Victorine Lieske, Nancy Johnson, Stephanie McAfee.) Others have not. (Amanda Hocking).
Speculation abounds, but I chalk it up to the NYT being squirrely and inscrutable just to get its inscrutability on.
Regardless, I’ll take it.
thought it said only once in an Aggies Lifetime….
That’s amazing! Congratulations, and keep it up! 🙂
i have saw At #9 on the Children’s list before i came to usa. it really great.
Congrats! That is is awesome!!!
CONGRATS to you and your authors!!!
I just finished Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Fantastic. Yo, blog readers, if you haven’t read this one, go get it and read it, right now.
Wow! Congrats!!To both you and your authors.
I have had Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet on my Nook for months. Finally, I got to it and finished reading it today.
It was the kind of book that makes you not want to read another book because you just don’t want to leave that world behind so quickly. It is a hard act to follow.
Congratulations to Batman and Robin for bringing us this great book.
