Yup-there is still time to cast your vote in the Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers. Teens between the ages of 15-18 are welcome to read and vote on as many of the nominated books as they choose. Four peaches gives the highest rating, while ‘the pits’ rates the book as well-the pits. Deadline to vote is Friday, March 14th, 2008.
Sadly, I didn’t get to read as many of the nominations as I wanted, but I was able to read five of them (granted three were read a few years ago…)
