The nominees for the 2010 Goodreads Choice Awards have been announced, and PRAISE THE GREAT PUMPKIN, I've been nominated not once, but twice!!! To quote the email sent to inform me of this delicious little slice of awesome...
"The Goodreads Choice Awards reflect what readers like. There were no secret committees. We did not defer to experts or look at book sales or previous awards. Goodreads nominated 15 books in 23 categories by analyzing statistics about books read by our members from the 47 million books added, rated, and reviewed on the site in 2010. Official nominees were selected based on a book's popularity and average rating among Goodreads members, so a nomination is truly an honor because it comes from your readers!"
So thank you, readers! And, you know. Cats, or whoever else may have decided to put my books into their system. I've been nominated in two different categories: Feed, written under the name "Mira Grant," is up for the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction, and An Artificial Night is up for a Goodreads Choice Award for Paranormal Fantasy. The polls are open to all readers for the entire month of December, and the winners will be announced in January. Specifically, on January 5th. My birthday.
An award would be so much cooler than a card. I'm just saying. Here are the links to the respective voting pages:

So anyway, pass the word, cast your votes, and if I win either (or both), I'll do something interesting for your amusement. Because that's just the kind of girl I am.
Awards!
