The Ladies Rule: women top Bookophilia Bestsellers list of 2011

January 4, 2012. Kingston, Jamaica. Sonia King, Jana Bent and Shirley Fletcher are among

Bookophilia’s bestselling authors of 2011.

Sonia King’s “Jacket or Full Suit” presents an informative and entertaining perspective on

paternity testing in Jamaica. From the baby father uptown to the “legal luminary” King shares

humourous and heartfelt experiences supported by her years of research.

For the young readers, Jana Bent captivated them with the second book from the Reggae

Pickney series “Reggae Band Rescues Mama Edda Leddaback.” Vibrant colours and catchy lyrics

thrilled young readers, while educating them about ways to protect the environment.

Shirley Anderson Fletcher made waves with her groundbreaking work “The Dance of Difference

Book 1: the new frontier of sexual orientation.” This book is the first in a trilogy about prejudice

and discrimination based on identity.

“On the Coast and Other Poems” and “The Scent of the Past”, by the iconic Wayne Brown, were among

customer favourites in 2011 in addition to the bold “DogHeart” by Diana McCaulay. Dutty Bookman, also

activist and publisher, made a stellar debut with his memoir “Tried and True: Revelations of a Rebellious

Youth,” while entertainment diva Khadene ‘Miss Kitty’ Hylton wowed fans with her sizzling first novel

“Good Girl Gone Bad.” Also among the bestsellers were enduring international favourites such as “The

Help” by Kathryn Stockett and “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”by Stieg Larson. Both of which have made

the journey from the page to the big screen. Check out Bookophilia’s top ten here.
