Good choice, Jon. I'd give it a second if I had any left.

I will third Still Life but I don't expect to be able to get it in time if it wins. 80 people on the waiting list for 7 copies at my library.

Yeah, it's a popular book. And the "WhisperSync Deal" is hardly a deal at all. Annoyingly, even though she's a Canadian author, it's not available from the library in BC. In either eBook or audio book format.

Well, I've got the hardback here somewhere. So I'm going to be looking for a really cheap version of this book if I have to read it again.

A little over 1 day left. The Graveyard Book and Absalom, Absalom only need 1 more nomination each to get us to 7 nominations.
