Last month's positions in this pinky colour, which I think is called cerise. May was once again a spectacularly weird (and rather disappointing) month, especially in the UK, because of the ongoing problems with amazon.co.uk. New books sold practically nothing in the UK, whereas they did very well in the USA. I will be repromoting them now to see what happens. Let's hope it is sorted soon. On a brighter note, there will be new charts for Australia and Canada sometime this summer. I will keep you posted.
