Bertelsmann shared a brief announcement on their financial results for the first quarter, noting that the company as a whole had €4.4 billion in sales, compared to €4.5 billion the previous year. Penguin Random House “delivered a strong business performance,” based on sales of Virginia Evans’s The Correspondent and Angela Song’s For the Fans! (KPop Demon Hunters), which sold 1.6 million copies in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and Spain during the quarter, plus film-tie in editions of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.
