Tonight, the Harry Potter series won in the category of "Favorite Book" at the 20th Anniversary of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Always a favorite at this slime-filled ceremony, Harry has also won in the category of "Favorite Movie" in past years.

The series beat out How to Eat Fried Worms, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Amazon has recently released a list of the most reviewed and requested items of 2006. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone topped their list as the book with the most positive reviews by customers for the year.

At the National Press Club's Audie Awards in Washington DC last night, Half-Blood Prince was entered into the Audio Publishers Association's brand-new Hall of Fame. HBP is the very first book to have been awarded with this prestigious honor. The book was narrated by Jim Dale for Listening Library.
