“Titled Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS, the hardcover book was released July 9 and immediately shot to No. 1 on the overall book charts. As of this writing, it’s also holding down the top spot on Amazon’s music biographies list (ahead of Paul McCartney’s new book), and BTS is No. 1 on Amazon’s bestselling memoirs chart”

There is no spoiler, but in any case, have posted the relevant para.
Edit to add:
The overall book chart being referred to is Amazon’s

I won’t get my copy for a week or so but been offline to avoid spoilers lol
Oh they no 1 in book charts too? Lol
Still miffed that my Amazon book arrived today without photocards 😐🥺 but alas.
How will I go on without photo cards? 😑
Can we add NYTimes best-selling author to their hashtag?

Bts about to be million book sellers 🥰
Try and source from a local bookstore if you can! Lord know Jeff Bezos doesn’t need more money.
Mine is going to be delivered today. If it goes at its usual schedule it will be put for delivery around 10-11 this morning and I should get it around 3 lol. I order from Amazon too much…
Book charts conquered, what other charts are left for them to dominate next?
The fomo I’m feeling over this book, I’m not getting it anytime soon because the price in my country is obscene 😭😭
i’m not usually one to complain, but mine was supposed to ship today, except it’s now listed as unavailable. i tried to cancel the order, had to send an email instead of clicking a button, no idea if it worked. once (or i guess if) i get the confirmation i’ll try to get a copy somewhere else. i’m also considering the audio book instead.
eta: so tl;dr, it’s going to be while before i’ll be able to read the book
more: okay i got the audio book and this is perfect for me and my sad attention span. why did it take me so long?
*Insert “As expected, BTS” Jin meme*
My copy is on the way💜Bangtan deserves all the recognition from this memoir for allowing Armies a peak inside their personal challenges💟💟
My copy just arrived! The way I opened it expecting pc’s or a postcard and then sadly remembered it wasn’t coming with one😂😭 Looking forward to using one of the Me, Myself & RM bookmarks with it!
Mine came today!
I’m puzzled by the lukewarm reactions. I’m not sure what people exactly were expecting. I think parts of it could’ve gone deeper (and I won’t go into it here, because I know they would’ve gotten in trouble if they said too much), but I’m very glad to see them getting their thoughts into a book, especially with regard to the training period that was so difficult.
I was supposed to order mine but my phone literally broke… Now *I’m* broke coz I needed to get a new phone coz my phone isn’t salvageable, and so I couldn’t afford to buy the book anymore…
I have got my book delivered this afternoon!!

I didn’t expect anything less 😅
My book is gonna arrive today! I’m so ready 🔥
I’d seen a couple of the other comments and I am in agreement. I’m a couple chapters in and so far the book hasn’t really told me any new information outside of minor anecdotes. Maybe it’s because I’m a 2017 ARMY, but a lot of it is stuff that we already know about and while the writing style is good and it is a quick read, I feel like it’s just a retelling without a lot of additional input. There’s a few new emotions or details clarified, but not really more information. I’m happy they released the book and I think newer ARMYs will enjoy it, but it’s not quite what I expected. I didn’t expect them to give juicy gossip or private personal information of course, but the way the story is told feels thin. I’ve felt more from some of their docs than the books, but maybe it’s just getting through the first couple chapters
My main annoyance is that things opened with the QR codes should have had closed captions available in multiple languages. It’s not a huge deal but it’s frustrating when they quote the video and you can’t understand the conversations unless you know korean.
