Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought… #3

Following on from a previous post about other books that had been bought alongside my short story on Amazon, I’ve discovered a couple of new big writers who share the ‘Also Bought…’ section for ‘Unfamiliar Country’. This time it’s another big name writer with a considerable body of work behind them, as well as several other big sellers.

Firstly, seven Agatha Christie short stories have been bought alongside my short story. Presumably this is the buying history of one particular customer, this would make the most sense, but like I mentioned in the previous posts about the ‘Also Bought…’ factor, it’s nice to be seen alongside writers like this, however tenuous the link may be.

Another notable writer who features in the ‘Also Bought…’ list is Karin Slaughter, a big name in contemporary crime writing. Her book ‘The Unremarkable Heart’ must have been bought by at least one customer who bought my book. But hopefully it’s not one of the 16 people who left her 1-star reviews!

Stephen Leather’s ‘Hard Landing’ features, but this could well have been me, seeing as I bought his ebook and I’ve obviously bought my own. But equally it could be someone else entirely, seeing as they both reside within the crime genre. There are also four books by CJ Box in there too. Box is a thriller writer with 15 novels and several short stories to his name.

I suspect the titles featured in the ‘Also Bought…’ feed change regularly as customers buy new books from Amazon. There also seem to be a couple of cookery books in there, they seem to be a staple in the book buying world. If you’ve got a book on Amazon, check out the ‘Also Boughts…’.
