My AccountThe Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association released the winners of the 2010 Book Awards today. The organization whose region includes Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington gathers nine bookseller members as volunteers to judge this annual contest, with the winners often times propelling into much greater national attention.
The popular award goes to five authors out of the over 200 books by NW authors that were submitted. Without further ado here’s the list:
The Big Burn – by Timothy Egan (Seattle, WA)
Boneshaker – by Cheri Priest (Seattle, WA)
The Crying Tree – by Naseem Rakha (Willamette Valley – OR)
The Collector: David Douglas and the Natural History of the Northwest – by Jack Nisbet (Spokane, WA)
All in a Day – by Cynthia Rylant, Illustrated by Nikki McClure (Olympia, WA; OR respectively)
Congratulations to all the winners on a well earned award. I for one have been looking forward to reading Cheri Priest’s Boneshaker for quite some time. You can check out the PNBA site above or just head on over to your local bookseller and pick up a copy of these fine tomes.
