A committee of independent booksellers has announced the winners of the 2011 Pacific Northwest Book Awards. The committee chose four books from its Shortlist and are honoring a fifth author with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations to Brady Udall (The Lonely Polygamist), Karl Marlantes (Matterhorn: A Novel of Vietnam), Anthony Doerr (Memory Wall), Sarahlee Lawrence (River House: A Memoir) and to Nancy Pearl, who’s being honored for her Book Lust series.
