| | |  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.

That's because most American books suck, so we have to import them...  that was just a joke. C'mon...as if anything could stand a chance against the juggernaut that is...Harry Potter. :sorcerer: SHAZZAM!!

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Does this really surprise anyone? This particular series is more than just any set of books. There is such an incredible cross section of people that love them. Instant classics, all of them. They should win more awards. We should invent awards just to give them to these books.

It is a great book and it is really awsome that it has won an award for being the most sold book. All the Harry books are great so it is good that they win awards.
