Books-A-Million has selected Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman (Ace) as its inaugural Book of the Year pick, which "recognizes the title that best embodies the joy of reading and the enthusiasm of Books-A-Million's team." Impetus for the selection came from Olivia McDaniel, v-p of marketing, "whose love for the series inspired an internal book club and a wave of new fans across the company."
"I've never played video games or even thought about DnD--Dungeons & Dragons, for the uninitiated--but I fell completely in love with Dungeon Crawler Carl," said McDaniel. "It's the most fun I've ever had reading--and I can't stop talking about it. I've personally convinced more than 70 people to read the series, from coworkers and gym friends to Facebook acquaintances I hadn't spoken to in years, and every single one of them couldn't put it down. No matter what kind of reader you are, this book is for you."
