Best Overlooked/Underappreciated Book - You know those books that you absolutely love, but never seem to get the amount of attention they deserve? This battle will bring those books their deserved time in the spotlight, where each one will fight for it's spot in the top ranks.
Best Debut Author of 2010 - For those of you who liked last year's battle the way it was, this is the option for you. For this battle, nominated works from debut authors published in 2010 will duke it out to be named champion.
Read-alike Versus Battles - This idea will shake up the bracket system used last year. Instead, books will be nominated in read-alike pairs. Vampire Academy VS. House of Night, Hush Hush VS. Fallen, etc. you pick two very similar books to battle it out to see which is the best of the pair. One winner will be declared for each pair, so for this battle, no ultimate winner will be chosen.
Best of the Genre - In this battle, books will be broken up by genre to battle for the best of their kind in 2010. What was the best fantasy published last year? Best historical? Best dystopian? Each genre will have it's own bracket, and it's own winner.
Poll will close March 20th. If anyone is having trouble with the form, or would rather not fill it out, you can email me, message me, or leave your vote here and I'll make sure it gets recorded.
Keep an eye out, because nominations and call for judges will be coming soon!
