Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our inaugural month! There were so many great reviews - some funny, some thoughtful, and all interesting to read. Here are your winners for March 2008:
Congrats to our winners! (I will contact you individually to arrange the gift certificates).
And thank you to everyone for all the feedback during this growth month. Thanks to your suggestions, we have made two big changes. First, NOMINATIONS. Now you can submit your own review and/or nominate any review on Goodreads. Second, OPEN-ENDED CATEGORIES. We still have fiction and nonfiction categories with specific titles chosen, but we now also have Funniest Review, Most Literary Review, and Best Critical Review. For these categories, you can write reviews or nominate reviews for any book on Goodreads.
Also, we're aware that the voting process didn't work very well this time around. Each of the new categories has better (hopefully) instructions for linking to your review or the review you wish to nominate. We're also looking into better ways to facilitate voting, so stay tuned!
Fiction: Read Raych's review of The Witch of Portobello
