It’s the end of November, which for a recently published author means only one thing: scouring the numerous ‘Book of the Year’ lists in the hopes your book has made the cut. As luck would have it, The Chimps has been chosen for three high-profile lists: Amazon.ca’s Best Books of 2011, the Quill and Quire’s Books of the Year, and just last weekend, the Globe 100. I am deeply to honoured that my book has been chosen for the very lists I used to scour for my upcoming Christmas reading list. Here’s hoping people still do that kind of thing.
