I'm a terrible poll-taker. I haven't read any of these, so I voted for the ones I'd heard of/the authors I liked. Hope that's ok, because I already voted.

That's totally fine! The only criteria I have is that the books here *actually* contain the "switched at birth" plot! Some people spam books that are totally unrelated on these topics, which is quite rude. Thank you for voting :]

Huh wonder why they do that. And yw, anytime. :)

To get attention for their books.
Being on Goodreads is a great way for authors to promote their books so a lot of (author/agents/publishers) create fake accounts and spam lists and people in order to promote their books.

Read this controversy The Selection author Kiera Cass

On January 12, 2012 a one-star review of Cass' book, The Selection, was posted on the book reviewing site Goodreads,[8] and on the reviewer's blog. Later on the same day, Kiera Cass' literary agent, Elana Roth, posted a series of derogatory tweets on the social networking site Twitter. In a conversation that Cass and Roth believed was private—but was, in fact, public—Roth called the reviewer names and both Roth and Cass discussed how best to bump the negative review down and boost positive reviews by manipulating the ranking system themselves.[9] The controversy sparked an article by Publishers Weekly speaking out against this practice and raised an outcry from multiple reviewers, bloggers, and publications against the cyber-bullying of non-professional reviewers by authors and agents.
