The latest Nielsen list of New Zealand
bestsellers is out,
for the week ending 17 November. Good to see my friends Maxine Alterio at #1
with Lives We Leave Behind and Brian
Turner at #3 with Elemental. Hamish
Clayton is at #7 with his brilliant debut novel Wulf (February 2011) and Paula Morris’s Rangatira (November 2011) is hanging in at #10. Excellent.
Best of all, Bill Manhire has been put in
his place: his Selected Poems, #9,
has been pipped by the new #8, The Moderately Hungry Maggot which is the
latest from, er, Bill Manhire.

Paul Cleave had The Laughter House and Collecting Cooper in the top ten together. Can't remember the positions.
I hope he didn't steal that sign.
@Vanda, yes of course. Thanks. I have a vague idea that Jenny Pattrick might have done the same. And in non-fiction I'm sure Annabel Langbein has had two at once.
@Flora - not our Bill. He is as honest as the day is long, and the days are getting longer.
There are 2 Paul Cleave this week and 2 Witi Ihimaera. Jenny Pattrick manages it quite often.
