Congratulations to all of the nominees! This list is the whoes-who of awesomness.

Fist pump for all of my blogger friends who were nominated!

Lydia Dare said...

Oh, wow!! Thank you so much for the nominations. How exciting.

Good luck to everyone. :)

linda said...

Congrats to everyone who was nominated. One thing that I would like to point out, when you nominate two books by one authors you make it harder for that author to win. You have their fan base split between the two books. Should have limited to one title per author. Just my opinion.

I look forward to casting my votes in November.

Stella Price said...

Hi linda and all...

Once again I will state I didnt nominate ANYONE. Im just the messenger. The nominations were done by Bloggers and readers, and it was a Blind Nomination, meaning no one saw who others were nominating. We went by number of nominations for each book nominated. Since no one knew who was nomming what, this is what happens.

Kele Moon said...

Wow!! I'm so excited to be nominated!! Thank you!

Lady D said...
