Author Robert J. Sawyer points us to this blog post and notes, “Needless to say, I’m thrilled!”
The blog post in question is from Quill and Quire, “Canada’s magazine of book news and reviews,”, and covers “Booksellers’ picks of the year: science fiction and fantasy.” In it, Allison MacLachlan writes “Agreeing on this year’s top seller in Canadian sci-fi and fantasy is no difficult task for booksellers. Wonder (Viking Canada), the third volume in the WWW trilogy by Robert J. Sawyer, has been flying off shelves across the country.” Booksellers interviewed for the piece credit “Sawyer’s busy touring schedule” and his reputation, saying “Sawyer is huge in Canada.”
In YA sci-fi and fantasy, Once Every Never (Puffin Canada) by Lesley Livingston, “has been a top seller since its release in July.” The book is the first of her Wondrous Strange trilogy.
