As I scout for potential books to narrate I'm getting quite amused at all the varied "Top 100" lists they seem to have at Amazon for their Kindle books. It gives you something of modest meaning to crow about I guess.
My favorite today is:
| Quote: | | "(Title)" has been getting excellent reviews and we sold enough to make number one in Time Travel and number ONE in Sci-Fi behind only Game Of Thrones and Enders Game." |
Gee, among all those time travel books you were number one this week? Cool. And if you're number ONE behind two other books that makes you number THREE doesn't it? Nope. Go further down in his request for auditions and you find:
| Quote: | | "It's been at Number One in the Time Travel chart in the USA and UK and, at it's peak, was at Number 9 in Sci-Fi behind only Game of Thrones and Enders Game." |
So number ONE behind two other books can actually mean NINE.
This new math confounds me.

To be fair to authors everywhere -
"Dave Doubledeck is a top voice talent ..."
Aren't we all, love!

Sounds like a load of number two -- from a horse.
