APRIL 21, 2010
American Booksellers Indie Choice Awards 2010
Chosen by the  American Booksellers, the 2010  Indie (Independent Bookstores) Choice Awards of the Year are:

              

Adult Fiction: Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese (Knopf)

Adult Nonfiction: The Lost City of Z by David Grann (Doubleday)

Adult Debut: The Help by Kathryn Stockett (Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam)

Young Adult: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (Scholastic)

Middle Reader: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (Wendy Lamb Books)

New Picture Book: The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney (Little, Brown)

I'm happy to say we own all of these and individually each earned high marks with at least one member of our staff. Sue, our cataloger, raved about Cutting for Stone.

Lost City of Z was my pick for non-fiction last year. It is a tale of deadly obsession in the Amazon and can't be beat fore for adventure. Many seek the lost civilization of El Dorado, many die trying to find it. Grann's research into the disappearance in 1923 of Percy Fawcett, his son and their party, lures him into the Amazon's mysteries.

Megan and I both waited breathlessly for Catching Fire, the second installment of Collins's Hunger Games trilogy (Mocking Jay due August 2010) and were not disappointed.

Joanne, Pam, and our volunteer Pat, have put The Help in to everyone's hands.

Megan's book group, and both Megan and myself thought When You Reach Me was superior.

You truly can't go wrong with anything on this list! Check one out today.
