Primetimer February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 Teresa Giudice's bake-sale of a prison memoir, Turning The Tables, is a disingenuous, tiresome waste of time. Read the story 1 Link to comment
zoeysmom February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 Thanks. I hope the rest of the reviews are as straightforward. Fingers crossed it doesn't see the light of day on the New York Times Best Sellers list. 4 Link to comment
Jennifersdc February 14, 2016 Share February 14, 2016 The book review was pretty funny. Especially since I'm pretty positive Teresa has no clue what Watergate is/means (see Lauren Manzo asking her to spell Napalm or define it). If anybody's interested the physical Watergate is a fairly crappy office building (despite recent "renovations") located in a fairly isolated part of Downtown DC (surrounded by Kennedy Center and State Department owned buildings) with questionable architecture (I'm one of the few in my business that actually finds it interesting). Supposedly it has very good views of the Potomac River in some sections, but I think most of those are in the co-op (still somewhat prestigious given the old-school DC roster who never sold) and the hotel which is about to re-open after being closed for years and years. I digress - but the office building is now for sale if anybody has about $85M (cheap for DC but what I priced it at and still probably a bad buy). I'm going to tour it for "shits and giggles" and curiousioty about the reno next week. But I'm still betting that Teresa doesn't know it refers to an office building or what the actual crime was. She apparently still doesn't even know what her own crime was. 2 Link to comment
Kerrey92 February 22, 2016 Share February 22, 2016 (edited) So can anyone smarter than me on this forum tell me whether Teresa's book is a great success? (Please say no...please say no...) Edited to add: Well, I checked and it's number 3 on the NY Times best seller list for non-fiction. Ugh. Edited February 23, 2016 by Kerrey92 1 Link to comment

Edited to add: Well, I checked and it's number 3 on the NY Times best seller list for non-fiction. Ugh. I think it's doing OK. Read enough summaries that's it not worth buying. Still same old same old bullshit re just signing docs for loans (nothing about her obvious complicity in BK fraud) and re-hash of what's already been done in Orange Is The New Black. IMO her fans and others curious bought enough to get her to NYT the first week. It's now about #300 on Amazon so I'm intrigued to see what it does next week. Link to comment
NewDigs February 24, 2016 Share February 24, 2016 (edited) Oh gag. On the Feb. 28 list it's #2 as an ebook but has been reduced to #5 as a hardcover. Small victories? edit: this was actually the Feb. 26 list. sorry Edited February 26, 2016 by NewDigs Link to comment
Jennifersdc February 25, 2016 Share February 25, 2016 This is actually it's first week on the non-fiction list. Reflects sales a few weeks or so behind - the Feb 28th list reflects sales for the week ending Feb 13th. It wasn't on the list released Feb 21st (sales week ending Feb 6th). When was this opus actually released? Small victories are that most of the books on the list have been out for awhile now (I have two). I'm curious as to exactly how many books and Kindle have been sold. Anybody know where to find that info? Link to comment
NewDigs February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 I think the release date was Feb. 9. Oh noes! No sign of Turning the Tables on any March 6, NYTimes bestseller list. I feel better now. 1 Link to comment

It actually appears to be number 13 for non-fiction hardcover ending Feb 20th now. I'm willing to bet it falls off the list next week. It's now #450+ on Amazon. Any takers? Link to comment

My subsequent post is for March 6, or thereabouts.Lots of initial interest with rapid falloff. I think I'd call it a flash in the pan. Wonder if her creditors are getting any book money.
