BookBrowse's 2015 Award Winners

2015 has been great for books and as we come to the end of the year, we round off our reading with our stamp of approval for a select few books with our annual BookBrowse Awards.

BookBrowse's 2015 Award Winners


Best Fiction | Best Nonfiction | Best YA | Best Debut

The Best Fiction award goes to The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah's novel about two sisters in occupied France, a selection that was an enthusiastic favorite with our First Impression reviewers, each and every one of whom gave a thumbs up to this story of courage and endurance. In celebration of this win we are giving away five hardcover copies signed by the author (offer closes 1/1/2016.)

A wrenching, small-town story of three generations of drug runners in Georgia, Bull Mountain, wins our Best Debut award, while Goodbye Stranger, a delightful portrayal of middle school and its travails, wins Best Young Adult Novel. Rounding off the selection is our nonfiction winner, a portrait of healing after deep loss - Helen Macdonald's H is for Hawk.

Do try your hand at our Big Holiday Wordplay. Over the past 14 years this has become a holiday tradition for many.

Last but not least, take a moment to peak at some of the notable books publishing early in 2016.
