Voting is now open on nominations for the second annual Quill Awards, a “consumer-driven award created to inspire reading while promoting literacy.” Nominees have been selected by U.S. booksellers and librarians in 19 different categories, from Debut Author and Illustrated Children’s Book to Graphic Novel and Biography/Memoir. In the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller category, there are five contenders:
• The Lincoln Lawyer, by Michael Connelly (Little, Brown)
• The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Novels, by Arthur Conan Doyle, edited by Leslie S. Klinger (Norton)
• Promise Me, by Harlan Coben (Dutton)
• Tomb of the Golden Bird, by Elizabeth Peters (Morrow)
• Twelve Sharp, by Janet Evanovich (St. Martin’s Press)
Readers are invited to vote online for their favorite among these five books, as well as their choices in any other Quill category. Polling will close September 30, with winners to be announced on October 10. The awards ceremony will be televised by NBC on October 28.
By the way, last year’s Mystery/Suspense/Thriller winner was Evanovich’s Eleven on Top. Which might suggest that more women than men participate in this poll.
