Hi Rafonauts
Read And Find Out has been open now for nearly a year (30 August) so it’s fitting that we hold our inaugural RAFO Book Awards.
Submit your nominations for the categories either in a reply post or via NB to Jacob, Legolas or Rebekah (or all three). Nominations close on Friday 20 August. There’ll then be a week for voting, and winners will be Announced on Monday 30 August.
The 3 books with the most submissions will be the ones you vote on.
The RAFO Year is defined as: 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010
So get thinking, and get nominating!
RAFO Book Awards:
* Book of the RAFO Year
* Best Fantasy
* Best Sci-Fi
* Best Other Literature (basically, all the other genres)
* Best Non-fiction
* Best author blog/twitter
* Most anticipated book (as of yet unpublished)
RAFO SF/F MB Awards:
*Poster of the Year – as in the person who you feel contributes most across the board, in discussions, reviews, surveys, etc (not admins!).
* Best Book Club discussion (this of course includes the Russian Book Club) – you might have to search a wee bit, but it’s not too bad! Look in the category “Book Club” for the official ones, and use the search term “Russian Book Club” for the other.
* Best book review – again, you might have to search a little. The two categories to look through are “Review” and “Reviews”
We might be nice and provide a post below with links to the various reviews and book clubs that have appeared over the year.
Obviously, this is the first time we've done this, so things might need a little bit of tweaking.
But it's really about a little bit of "fun" and getting involved, so don't worry too much!
