Ahhh so many amazing choices! Some were easy, because of the love I held for the novel. Some incredibly hard because I loved multiple options… but oh, 2011 was such a brilliant year for debuts!

I am so excited that my client, Kelley York, was nominated for her debut, HUSHED. It’s a fantastic YA LGBT Thriller and I am over the moon that it was nominated. Special thanks to Kristi and Vi for putting Entangled Publishing on your list!

I loved the poll BUT it should not be mandatory to vote in all categories as I had not read everything and still had to vote randomly to get my real votes in.
