BoM vs. W&S update—
BoM— #37,364
W&S–#130,898

I really wish someone could explain these Amazon rankings to me. As you can see, there is now a wide gap between Wives and Sisters and the Book of Mormon. Of course, I understand SOME of that. As we have discussed before, Joseph Smith Jr., the “translator” of the Book of Mormon, has a following. I do, too. It consists of about 200 people who read my first book, SisterWife, which is available on Amazon.com for a ridiculously expensive amount. You do the math—several million vs. several hundred. Of course, I have quibbled with how the Mormon Church comes up with that several million. But nonetheless, they have a LOT more followers than I do.

But just days ago I was in the 20,000s. How to explain the disparities? Can’t.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES–Quote from youngest daughter, affectionately known in our family as JabberJaws, or JJ:

“Mom, isn’t it amazing how I can manage to say all the words I want to say in just one day?”

Simply amazing.

FREE BOOK OF MORMON–Because I was so rash and called some of you the stupidest people on the face of the earth (it was ONLY directed at someone who would PAY for a copy of the Book of Mormon, so relax!), I thought it best to provide the link where you can go to get your FREE Book of Mormon. No (yeah, right) strings (sucker) attached (I-have-some-swampland-in-Arizona-to-sell-ya).

Here ya go:
FREE BOOK OF MORMON

Disclaimer: I am NOT responsible for what happens when those missionaries HAND deliver your free Book of Mormon. The best way to keep them from talking is to feed them. They’re young, and they’re hungry, away from home for the first time. Keep their mouths full, and you’ll be fine.

Wives and Sisters vs. BoM update–It’s been a few days since I did one of these, mostly because I lost interest. But hey, maybe YOU are still interested in how a book that is not supported by a major religion (and in fact, is resoundly reviled by said religion) does in Amazon rankings vs. a book that is supported by a major religion.

Also, my book is getting much better reviews, if you discount all the “This book changed my life. It’s the best book ever written. I’m brainwashed as all hell” reviews.

Anyway, here is today’s update.

The hour is 4:34 p.m. MST

BoM–#16,668
W&S–#22,777

Do you SEE that? Huh? That, my dear friends, is a difference of only 6,109 ranking points! Of course, no one knows what the Amazon rankings really mean, so this is a shallow victory, but hey, I’ll take victory wherever I can get it! So now, this is a call to arms. Everyone, who is anyone, who wants to see a book that has been labeled “anti-Mormon” by the powers that be, written by an “unknown author, who will be ignored,” rise above this label, go to Amazon now and buy said book! Show them! Or at least help ME show them.

Yeah, so I’m still smarting from that “unknown author” comment.

Silly Mormon Joke–Apparently, St. Peter was giving a tour of Heaven, and when he got to a certain part of the tour, he told everyone to be very quiet and tiptoe by. “Why?” whispered one of the tour guests.

“Because this is where the Mormons are. They think they are the only ones up here.”
