YA & New Author Nominations For The Best of 2009
November 7, 2009 in Best of 2009 New Author, Best YA of 2009, Contests
The end of the year is coming up, can you believe it. My wonderful Twin, at Sidhe Vicious Reviews and I have decided to ask our readers what their favorites of 2009 are.
I figured we would start a bit easy: YA category & Best New Author and we’ll move on week by week to other genres/sub-genres/authors. I also know there’s a lot of late releases this year, so they’ll have their own category as well, so we don’t leave anyone out.
I also think a top 5 for every category should suffice, we know how hard it is to choose favorites.
At the end of it, we will have a contest with some of the top books of every category being given away.
So, comment away…who are your FAVORITE NEW AUTHORS of 2009 & FAVORITE YA of 2009 nominate as many as you want for each category and next week we’ll have a poll to narrow them all down!
Here are a few for the list…
