Half-Blood Prince most borrowed book in Scotland
The Scotsman reports today that Half-Blood Prince is the most borrowed book in Scottish libraries:
The PLR's registrar, Jim Parker, said the regional trend in Scotland was much more pronounced than in other UK areas. The Welsh top ten, for instance, features only one Welsh writer, Iris Gower, at number ten.HBP was followed by two Ian Rankin novels: A Question of Blood and Freshmarket Close. Thanks to Jamison for the tip!
"Whether it's because they want to read Scots writers, or because there are so many good Scottish crime writers, I'm not sure. Perhaps a bit of both.

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!! I can't wait till the new movie and the new book come out!! It is soooooo EXCEITING!!!!!!!!!! YIPPY!!!!!
I wouldn't call JKR Scottish. She lives there, but Scotts who live in England aren't called English. Welsh who live in English aren't called English. She was born, raised and educated in England and now lives in Scotland. So I can see why people would call her English or (the collective term) British (and I prefer 'British') but I wouldn't really call her Scottish. I suppose I'm just being pedantic though.
It's good that HBP has come top as the most borrowed book - Yay! But no, JKR is not Scottish, she's English.
cooooooooooolll
yay baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
ok......
