ewein2412The Goodreads Choice Award results are in! The winner in the Young Adult Category is John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars. Code Name Verity placed 7th as a finalist, which I think is phenomenal.
Because, well, the name of the award says it all - it’s a readers’ choice. I confess to sneaking a look at the ratios behind the number of votes the finalists got and the number of Goodreads ratings they have. I won’t list them here, but most of the finalists received between 25 and 40 percent the number of Choice Award votes in relation to their number of Goodreads ratings.
The book to watch in the Young Adult category is Never Fall Down, Patricia McCormick’s moving fictional account of the life of Arn Chorn-Pond as a survivor of the Khmer-Rouge genocide in Cambodia. It has very few Goodreads ratings, but it has MORE VOTES THAN RATINGS. A voter/rating ratio of slightly over 100 %. If you read it… I think you’re likely to love it.
Code Name Verity has a voter/rating score of 98 %.
Which is freaking awesome. CNV Special Ops ROCKS. Thank you, fierce wonderful readers. THANK YOU.
---------------------------------
There was a CNV giveaway on Goodreads connected with the Goodreads Choice Awards, and the winners are Sadie, Roselyn, and Bethany Miller.
In gratitude for putting up with all this Goodreads Choice Awards propaganda I’ve been bombarding you with for the past month or so, which is really kinda boring, I’m giving away an MP3 ready copy of the wonderful audio book of Code Name Verity (signed of course), read by Morven Christie and Lucy Gaskell. They are spectacular. Comment if you’d like to enter the giveaway! Ends 21 December 2012.
I do not really enjoy self-promotion, but I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.

I own the book in hardcover, but the audiobook has been on top of my wishlist for months now, as the samples do sound spectacular. Please count me in for the giveaway.
