Charts New Zealand ANALYSIS
HOME COOKING
Global brands E L James, Suzanne Collins and George R R Martin may have success, but Kiwis are supporting their own. Tom Tivnan looks at the Guest of Honour charts
LIKE THE REST of the Anglophone markets across the globe, Guest of Honour country New Zealand has not been immune to E L James’ particular charms. Te Fifty Shades author—as she does in the UK, Australia and the US—holds the top three overall spots on the charts. Te first in the trilogy has sold more than six times the amount of the next non-James bestselling fiction title in New Zealand, and four times more than the next bestselling book overall (Suzanne Collins’ Catching Fire, the second in her Hunger Games trilogy). Collins certainly has not had a
shabby year. She holds the first seven spots in the NZ children’s charts with various editions of the Hunger Games series. She has shifted NZ$2.1m through the tills in Kiwi bookshops, the second bestselling author in 2012 thus far, to James’ NZ$3.4m. Another multiple entry on the charts is George R R Martin, with six titles in his A Song of Ice and Fire series appearing in the top 20 fiction, powered by the second season of “Game of Trones” being aired on NZ premium channel SoHo.
Home is where the art is New Zealand holds a slight edge over its great rival Australia in supporting home-grown writing. Tere is one Kiwi fiction writer in the NZ top 20 thus far in 2012: Emily Perkins’ Te Forrests. Not many, but that is one better than yesterday’s Australian fiction chart. Seventeen of the non-fiction top 20 are by Kiwis or have NZ themes, compared to 13 home-grown Aussie non-fiction titles in their top 20. In children’s, five of Rotura, North Island-born Lynley Dodd’s Hairy Maclary picture books hit the charts.
