Carolynn Bain’s remarkable work serves as a reminder of how bookselling is not just a commercial enterprise but a powerful force for social justice and good. The eight campaigns on this shortlist were all winners at the Publishers’ Publicity Circle’s annual awards. Alongside the title of Marketing Strategy of the Year, the award for Publicity Campaign of the Year completes a remarkable double for the most visible début of 2022, Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry. I am a book monster myself, though I don't really eat books, at least not in the way Nibbles does. I devour books by reading them. :D The final judging panel crowned the Non-Fiction Lifestyle & Illustrated Book of the Year winner, Menopausing, as The British Book Awards’ Overall Book of the Year. They thought the “impressive” book captured Davina McCall’s voice and passion. I also have to give extra credit to the book cover. Normally books are paper and feel cold/hard on the touch, but not this one. It has texture, but also seems to not been made from paper but from fabric. I love it when publisher/authors do something special to their books.

Nibbles Series by Emma Yarlett - Goodreads

S&S’ children’s division had a best-ever year of sales and profits, increasing its TCM turnover by a fifth—and by more than half since 2019. Picture books, fiction and audio were all in substantial double-digit growth, and international exports, rights and co-editions hit record highs. While brands like Supertato and Ben Miller were strong, the undoubted highlight was A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year and the top children’s début fiction title. The judges also admired EUP’s diversity and inclusion initiatives, including an overhaul of recruitment practices, a mentoring scheme and sessions on neurodiversity. It made strides on reducing its environmental impact by developing a Sustainability Plan and took excellent care of its teams and authors. “This was my best publishing experience ever—perfect from start to finish,” said one grateful academic. Rushdie has continued to advocate for others’ rights to freedom of expression. His most recent book Victory City was published by Vintage in February. None of this is done without risk. On 12th August 2022, a man stabbed Rushdie after rushing onto the stage where the novelist was scheduled to deliver a lecture at an event in New York. He survived, but has lost sight in one eye. This is the inaugural British Book Award for Edinburgh University Press, the academic stalwart which has been trading for over seven decades.

The business opened three new standalone bookshops in 2022, at Luton and Manchester airports and Edinburgh Waverley station, plus new concept stores with bright book departments. It meanwhile relocated and revamped its concessions within Harrods and Selfridges in London—special shopping environments that provide more proof that the W H S Travel team can do far more than pile-‘em-high bookselling. It is also a second British Book Award in six years for Transworld’s Alison Barrow, following success for her work on The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. There were hallmarks of that publicity strategy in her campaign for Lessons in Chemistry, which began at the point of acquisition and has not abated since. It was clearly a passion project with endless creativity and innovation, first building a word-of-mouth buzz and an army of advocates, then achieving an exceptional level of media interest. There were acres of magazine, review and supplement coverage and successful pitches to key TV/radio slots, including “Between the Covers”, “Open Book”, “Woman’s Hour” and several book clubs.

Ten years on from launch, five years into life at Hachette, and two years after the arrival of Richard King, Bookouture evolved into a global force in 2022. I still couldn't hate the little fellow, instead I just laughed at his cuteness and his total obliviousness to all that happened around him. Though at times you could see he knew what he was doing.Some ideas for this book would be to discuss the similarities and differences between the folklore stories to compared to the original or a different version. There are many similarities and differences that the students could find. They could create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences. Since there are a few different versions mentioned within the Book Monster, the teacher would have great examples to do a teacher model, a we do example, and a student do. Also, students could complete a sequence of events for the Book Monster to explain what happened throughout the story. Students could also write about what they think will happen next to Nibbles. Students could create their own story about Nibbles and his next adventure. Lastly, the teacher could have a discussion about how students know that this is a fractured fairy-tale/folklore story and how this story is different from nonfiction. I've read this book roughly 82 million times because it is a favorite in my house. We've actually had it for almost two years and despite having books overflowing our shelves and access to the entire county library full of books, this is one that keeps making it's way onto the "PLEASE READ THIS ONE MOMMY" list. Waterstones, a winner for the first time since 2019, is recognised for the rejuvenation of its children’s bookselling. It took a good share of the year’s biggest children’s books and has jumped on the TikTok phenomenon, including through a BookTokFest. But it was work with new voices that most caught the eye, which was boosted by its Children’s Laureate, Book Prize and Book of the Month and Year initiatives. After a stellar 2022, even by the high standards of the flourishing books market, Simon & Schuster wins this award for the second year a row. The illustrations in the book are beautiful and will delight both kids and adults. The age recommended in the version was 3 to 5 years, but kids from all ages will enjoy not only be told the story, but going through the way (holes) the character did in the books. Have fun. I did! 😉
