Congratulations!
Thanks. It’s an interesting list, isn’t it; including some books I was glad to hear more about.
Congratulations, particularly given the strength/popularity of some of the other nominees. There are a couple I’ve never heard of and at least one I I’ve read once and intend to never read anything else by ever again.
Well, yes, actually I feel that way about all award lists. And my own book has been on the receiving end of such feelings, as you know. 😉
I try to look at award lists as a chance to expand my mind. If somebody else likes a certain book, I can at least try to figure out why.
Congratulations — I’ve only read 3 of the books (so far!), and have heard very good things about all the others, save having not read much at all about This Shared Dream before now.
Great news! Hope you win!
