Before we dive into the howling hilarity of these mistakes, it’s worthwhile to note how they’re probably happening. First of all, the bestsellers are very fluid. They change from hour to hour depending on real-time sales, so enjoy the mis-categorized madness retroactively. By the time this essay gets to your screen, there will be a whole new batch of nonsense in the bestseller categories and I’m not up for the Sisyphean task of continuously cataloging book-placing ineptitude.

2. Bob Ross Bobblehead
3. Relaxing Flowers in Architecture

5. Buffy the Horse Calendar
I spent several moments of my life trying to determine why this Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2020 Wall Calendar is #71 in the Horse Calendar category. At first, I thought for sure that one of the months would be Buffy on a horse. I’d pay good money for a 2020 calendar featuring Buffy bearing down on her enemies mounted on a ruthless war steed, her sword flashing as she screams to the rescue of her girlfriend, Xena Warrior Princess. Alas, it is only to be in my dreams and fanfic.
