Anyone going to be reading his latest swipe at the Royal Family which comes out tomorrow?

Me neither!

The book is now apparently No. 215 on Amazon's bestseller list.

hmm I wonder how low it can go. As low as the person who wrote it perhaps?

I hope the sales don't cover his advance fee, then publishers might think twice before publishing his dross in the future.

So far it has sold 6,500 copies in the UK.

Gosh! Six thousand five hundred people actually paid money for it?

The whole of the Republican Group perhaps?

Roughly 1:10,000 of the population

I haven't even read Spare yet, so don't suppose I will catch up with this one for ages, if ever.

Endgame was in the window of our small bookshop today, £22, which was annoying because I couldn't get it from the shelf for a quick read.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 07-Dec-23 17:29:00

I bought Spare on my kindle when it was on a deal

Haven’t read it though, might start when I am wide awake at 2am hopefully it will send me to sleep 😴😴😴

Joseann In many bookshops it is already half price www.thesun.co.uk/royals/24971554/omid-scobie-endgame-flop-sales/

Thanks Monica.
But not even if it were free - now we know Scobie was lying. But where did he get his information from??

Smileless2012 Fri 08-Dec-23 22:51:13

So having sworn on his and his family's lives Scobie has said what of course we knew along that he did name Charles and Kate.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for an honest answer to that question Joseann.

Joseann, well, we know where Omid Scobie gets his information from. the question is - is this source reliable and we all know the answer to that question!
