On Monday, Reed Business and NBC announced the 2006 nominees for the Quills–a kinda “People’s Choice Award” for literature. Among the 19 categories are: Fiction, Author of the Year, Debut Author, Graphic Novel, Illustrated Children’s Book, Children’s Chapter Book, Young Adult or Teen Book.
Between August 22 and September 30 folks can visit the site and cast votes for their favorite titles or authors.  The site offers a PDF poster and ad banners for websites to promote interest. Winners will be announced and webcast on October 10 from the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Last year’s titles helped me decide exactly what to stack on my night table. I’ve already read a couple of this years’ nominess and can’t wait to squeeze in several more, while I write that dissertation, of course!Â
