fuego's, ontario beach, pickleball, and yan huang

A tiny weekly wrap up. It’s going to be a regular update (or so I hope). Barnes & Noble (uh-again) My friend and I went to Fuego’s at Downtown. Their lattes are, in general, good but I tried hot chocolate this time. Hmm, it was not bad but it wasn’t amazing either. At the coffee shop, I got some progress with a fic I’ve been writing for a few weeks now and I also made an itinerary for a…

Let’s play pickleball: Why this game is growing in popularity in Chennai

What is pickleball? It’s a question that K Mohit Kumar gets often. It’s a question he loves answering. Even as he skilfully chops the ball on a windy Saturday morning at the recently-held South India Pickleball Premier League at Hotfut SPR Sports in Perambur, Mohit answers questions from curious onlookers. He was introduced to the sport in 2019 through a family friend visiting from the US, where…

Carlisle, I know you have some hobbies you enjoy on your own, but what are some hobbies you've tried/enjoyed along with various other Cullens?

We of course play baseball, which seems to be something about which the internet is aware. We also have created appropriately challenging versions of other sports, such as the time we put a basketball hoop on the third story of our home in Alaska. Emmett and I enjoy watching sports together; Alice and I can be rather insufferable about a good dance performance; Rosalie and I often handle thorny diagnoses together for fun; and Edward and I go running. Recently Esme and I have joined what seems the USA zeitgeist and learned pickleball. There is a four-court setup not far from our home; when I have the night off, we go in the dead of night and play across all four courts. We laugh a lot; it’s really a somewhat silly game. Esme likes to joke it’s the only time she’s ever seen me be good in the kitchen.

What qualifies someone as a bestselling author? Which lists "count"? Obviously NYT is the big one, then USA Today. But what other lists mean you can properly call yourself a bestselling author if you're on them? Does being #1 in a category on Amazon count? The bestselling book at your local store? A little bestseller banner for a short time on the B&N website?

I guess 'bestselling' CAN mean anything, but generally speaking, if you are using that as a bragging point, you'd want to specify. NYT Bestselling, USA Today Bestselling, PW Bestselling, Indie Bestselling (ie, appearing on the Indie Bookstore Bestseller List) -- those things mean something. In the UK, Sunday Times means something. In Germany, Der Spiegel means something. (If you appeared on multiple big lists like that in multiple countries, you could say "Internationally Bestselling.")

If you were to just say "bestselling" without a specification, that's kinda dubious. Whaddya mean by "bestselling"? Bestselling at your grandma's retirement home? That doesn't count.

Also, having a banner on B&N or a yellow thing on Amazon, or being "#1 > books > children's books > sports > pickle ball " or whatever doesn't really count. Those "rankings" fluctuate by the hour -- if somebody places a big order for your book at 5:15, that might make it a "bestseller" in that niche of a niche category for a while, maybe even a long while until a different pickle ball book sells -- and that's exciting and fun! -- but that doesn't indicate sustained good sales. Whereas if to get on the NYT or Indie or PW or USA Today lists, you'd have to have good sales all week, against EVERY book in the children's category, not just against every pickleball book or every sports book.
