Read and Vote for your Favorites over the next few months
GoodReads has a Listopia feature where anyone can vote on books in a list. Each of our long-lists has been added -- feel free to go there and vote on our books as you read them. This will be a great help to the Red Dot Committee when selecting the short-lists in September. Feel free to also indicate in your review/vote whether you think the book is in the right category.
You are also welcome to add new books to the long-list -- via Listopia. In nominating new books, remember: they must have been published in English in the past four years to qualify. So for the 2011-2012 long list, books must have been published in 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011.
