| | |  HBP wins 'Best Seller' award
' Half-Blood Prince' has won the Best Seller Award for being the top-selling book in America in the year to August 1st, despite the fact that it was only released on July 16th . Quote:
Its tally of 6,397,000 copies was more than double the nearest challenger, Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," which sold 2,261,000, according to Nielsen BookScan, the co-sponsor of the awards, which were presented on Thursday in New York.
"No politics, no judges' panels. They are very simply a true celebration of consumer choice," said Jerome Kramer, editor of The Book Standard, which presented the awards.

Excellent! Of course, there's no suprises there, is there? Not after how popular the book was!

That basically means HBP sold more copies in the US in 2 weeks than any other book did in the whole year.

Wicked!! Thats really cool! I didnt expect that HBP has sold that much compared to Da Vinci Code. Woah more than half! Congrats to HBP!
Congrats also to Da Vinci Code. It has sold a really great amount of copies.
But HBP still came out tops!

Yay! Congrats to HBP and Jo on another well-written book! Everyone knows she deserves it for taking such a long time to write (what I believe to be) the most excellent book series in the world.

 Great job Jo. HBP IS the best book out by far. Can't wait for book 7. I am sure it will be another BIG hit
