Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has won the Book of the Year
award at this year's British Book Awards, which was held in London this evening.
Ms. Rowling was in attendance and said:
I'm delighted that Harry Potter continues to give so much pleasure to adults and children, and I'm honoured to receive this award. I am enjoying writing the last book in the series and it's coming along nicely.
Half-Blood Prince was up against Jamie Oliver's Jamie's Italy, Sharon Osbourne's My Autobiography and Jeremy Clarkson's The World According to Clarkson.

Loving HBP says:
It sounds like HBP was up against autobiographies. Maybe they think JKR is the Half Blood Prince! That's really awesome that it won Book of the Year, though! How does JKR find time to write with all these events she's been going to??

I knew this book would win, it was maybe the best book, we learned a lot, and we are now split between Snape's good or evil intentions... and eventually the death of the greatest of all, Dumbledore!
