I loved "Under the Mountain" as a kid, so I'll put my vote in for that book.

Challenge 1 or 2 "The Secret Keeper"

Got a 5 star rating and excellent review the other day and that made me happy. Not set in New Zealand but I am a New Zealander.

Here's a suggestion for the Young Adult Challenge: The Curtain Twitcher's Handbook The author isn't a New Zealander, but she lives in New Zealand.

Only two more days until nominations close!

For young adult - Patrick Ness - the Knife of Never Letting Go. I've been waiting to read this for ages and it's supposed to be amazing!

Yay! We're starting to get some more nominations.

Thomas emailed with a NZ nomination for his latest book Relinquished.

Laura also emailed with some nominations from her current to-read pile.
NZ - The God Boy
Other - Postcards or Lost

Thanks to you both.
Thanks for the young adult nomination, Melissa!

Polls will open sometime tomorrow night.

Cheers, Angie

Polls are open!

Is anybody else having trouble accessing the polls? Hopefully it will sort itself out before announcement time tomorrow.

Yeah, glad you said that. I tried earlier, but got a persistent error.

(just been through some of my other groups, and can only find one other where this is happening. all the rest are OK)

Just spotted a question about this in the Feedback group, so we're definitely not the only ones having trouble. I've added a message about this group to the thread, so I guess we just wait and see. Hope you don't mind my interference, Angie! here's the link to the topic http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...

So glad I'm not the only one. It's a bit of a pain. Thank you for mentioning us on the feedback. Hopefully they'll sort it soon. The polls close today and I still can't see them!

Yay! 'tis fixed.

Phew! Thanks Darkpool for sorting with the admin for Goodreads. Polls will be closing sometime in the next 24 hours. If you haven't voted already, get in quick!

Thanks very much Angie

I will post this again when the thread opens but if anyone is looking to find The Secret Keeper I have listed the sites where it is available. Smashwords is probably the most helpful because it is in all ebook reading formats and PDF or HMTL there. PDF for all those who don't have an ereader.
