Okay, so, um, I got three right in my Segullah post: Stephanie Black, Annette Haws, and Angela Hallstrom. I confess that while I am happy for the winners, I am a little bummed for the sake of those who I wanted to win. I really think Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow, deserved to win something, for instance. I could say that about a lot of other books I voted for. And heck, ones I didn’t vote for in first place but chose for second. I loved Seeking Persephone, for example.
Not that I’m trying to take away from the books that won; congratulations are in order. Way to go Whitney winners!
And to those who didn’t win, if you read this, and it’s any consolation, you can know that I (and I’m sure many others) was pulling for you. I hope to read you in the finals again next year.
