I was pleased and surprised this morning to see that Seraphina has made it to the semifinal round of the Goodreads Readers’ Choice awards! They put a lovely orange badge on the book page and everything.
“Pleased” is, I’m sure, self-evident. “Surprised” is because the book wasn’t on the main page in the opening round. If people wanted to vote for it, they had to write it in. Looks like a few people must have done just that. Thank you all so much!

I was just tickled to see that, having been one of the writers-in. Already voted for you in the semis, too.
The power of granola! 🙂
I’m happy the book made the semifinal round, seeing as how I’m also another who wrote the title in. I felt a little shocked to discover Seraphina wasn’t on the main page, because it seemed like one of the more popular YA fantasy reads this summer! It certainly wins my vote for the semifinals.
Aw! Thanks so much for your support! I don’t know how they choose the ones for the first round. Maybe by how many GR ratings they have?
