Readers, the time is upon us: Voting for this year’s Readers’ Choice Best Book of 2011 is officially underway.
Last week, we kicked off the voting by giving away three Best American collections.* This week, we’re upping the prize.
If you tell us your favorite NEW book you read in 2011, you will be entered to win 10 books in a genre of your choice, hand-picked by BookPage editors. (Hint: If you say The Help is your favorite book of 2011, your vote will not count. The book must be first published in 2011. Just sayin’!)
• That means if you like paranormal romance . . . we’ll find you 10 paranormal romance novels—and make sure you haven’t read them yet.
• If you like literary fiction about dysfunctional family dynamics . . . we’ll make it work.
• Memoirs and biographies? That, too.
(You get the point.)
Voting is live until December 2, and we’ll announce the results of the survey in the December 6 edition of BookPageXTRA.
CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BOOK OF 2011.
