Best of 2010 from Harper Collins Canada

Another list! Do you have a list? Let us know!

December 2010

2010 has been an incredible year for literature and for HarperCollins Canada. We are proud of every single one of our books, but a few keep popping up on all the year-end lists.
Room by Emma Donoghue, winner of Rogers Writers’ Trust Award for Fiction and shortlisted for the prestigious 2010 man Booker Prize, Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, an Oprah’s Book Club pick and Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, the break-out hit and #1 bestseller. These three have been making more ‘best of’ lists than we can keep up with.Need more? How about Dianne Warren’s Cool Water, winner of the Governor General’s Award for Fiction, David Bergen’s The Matter with Morris, shortlisted for the Giller, and Paul Harding’s Tinkers, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction? If you haven't read any of these yet, you're one of the few. (But luckily there are a few days left in the year).
One more accomplishment we have to recognize, Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes passed a huge milestone: selling over 500,000 copies in Canada!
Thanks to all of our Savvy Readers and we hope you continue to enjoy all that we have to offer in 2011.
