You still have a few hours left before voting ends for the second annual Quill Awards, a “consumer-driven award created to inspire reading while promoting literacy.” But you have to hurry: voting closes September 30.
As Rap Sheet editor J. Kingston Pierce told us back in August, 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. Winners will be announced on October 10. The awards ceremony will be televised by NBC on October 28.
