Happy New Year !

Just hours before it all starts again and already new titles and votes have come through for January. Looks like the New Year will get off to a good start!

December 2008 Winners are ....

This month's Reader's Choice Award goes to 'Soft Target' with over 200 votes!

The Author's Choice was very close right up to the final minutes but 'Knight's Fork' won the December award!

Two very worthy winners, well supported by our AmazonClicks book buyers and authors.

Congratulations to authors Conrad Jones and Rowena Cherry - a great end to 2008!

Just a few more hours to vote!

Voting closes at 12:00 Noon GMT tomorrow, Saturday 28th December. 

The Awards this month have been very much a roller coaster ride but in the last remaining hours it is Soft Target back in the lead for the Reader's Choice Award and Knight's Fork ahead in the Author's Choice Award.

Last few days!

As we go into the closing days, Knights Fork is holding on to the lead in both categories but it is extremely close now.

Every vote will count!

Knight's Fork leads both categories!

With the recent demise of Soft Target due to 'spamming', Knight's Fork has now moved into the top position in both categories!

Genuine votes for Soft Target could help it to bounce back but time is running out. In the meantime, Knight's Fork is both the Reader's and Author's top choice for December 2008.

Spam Voting Knocks Leading Book from Top Position

Yet again Soft Target has been dogged by spam voting, and it has dropped several places again as a result. It seems a shame if the voters think this will help a title as it has the opposite effect.

With just a few days to go it could cost this book the Reader's Choice Award for December. 

Votes pour in - no position change yet!

Despite oodles of votes arriving over the past 48 hours and lots of time spent counting and calculating positions, there has been no change with the leading titles ....yet!

If this continues, it may be a different story as the fans are out in force voting for their favourites as we move into Christmas week, who will be our Christmas winners?

Knight's Fork continues to forge!

More votes have come in for Knight's Fork and it continues to progress in the rankings.

Also Soft Target is continuing to get the support of it's readers and is establishing a commanding lead this week.

As we approach Christmas week, the voting is intensifying and the outcome is still up for grabs!

Knight's Fork inching ahead!

Knight's Fork is moving up the ranks rapidly in both categories!

Soft Target still holds onto the lead in the Reader's Choice Award after the votes cast overnight and today (despite a few duplicates). Mid-week, mid-month and it's still all up for grabs in December!

Soft Target down....then up!

After losing it's leading role over night, Soft Target bounced back this morning and again is in the lead for the Reader's Choice Award.

No change in position for the Author's Choice and The Devil's Trinity still sets the pace!

Awards Shake Up Again!

Once again the rankings have changed in both categories as we head into the last half of December and towards the end of 2008!

Soft Target has returned to the top position of the Reader's Choice Award with a comfortable margin although the next three positions are very close indeed.

Devil's Trinity has moved into first place in the Author's Choice Award and in both categories In Search of an Angel is currently in second place.

Whilst anyone could still win either category, the Author's Choice Award has several titles very close together in the rankings.

Remix and 'The Book' Award Message

The news today is a big remix of positions in the rankings, for both categories.

New names, alongside titles that have been listed for several weeks, have all shifted as a result of the votes cast over the past 48 hours. In the second week of December, it is very much up for grabs!

The Annual Book Award is also sponsored by AmazonClicks.com this year (2008 - 2009) and the winning titles from our monthly Reader's and Author's Choice Awards will all be automatically nominated. Those of you who have voted for our titles will receive an email in the coming weeks urging you to vote one more time in Autumn next year to support your favourite title.

Voting on the move again!

New titles and suddenly the voting picks up again !

Over the past 24 hours some of the positions have changed and the order looks very different to a few days ago when everyone was clearly on holiday :)

Close at the top!

As the voting gathers steam again, the rankings are very close indeed between the top books in both categories.

The top three Readers' Choices have in one case just a single vote between them and the Author's Choice is now a tie for the top book!

No position changes today

For once a very boring day! Only a few votes in for each category and no change in position.

It had to happen sooner or later!

And they're off!

The starting pistol is still smoking as the first runners are on their way!

'Soft Target' makes the early ground with a backlog of Reader's votes from November but both the Angels are flying too - that's 'Angel's in Mourning' and 'In Search of an Angel'.

Bizarrely, SEVEN Author's titles are now equal in the leading position for December! Statitistically this must be some kind of record but it shows just how close the voting can be in this category and how it really is open for any one of our Authors to win.
