Kate Gosselin's latest book isn't exactly flying off the shelves.
Since its April 13 release, "I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith, and Family" has sold just 10,084 copies, according to national book sales tracker Bookscan.

That seems a bit much.
Good, she’s a jack@ss. 15 minutes should have been over LONG ago.
