We have an election that you can vote in now. It involves no conventions, commercials, debates or rhetoric --- and it certainly is one that will touch the hearts of readers.

The founder of My Friend Amy (who is an avid reader) has launched Book Blogger Appreciation Week from September 15 - 19. Cast your votes in the Book Blogger Appreciation Awards in categories like Best Name for a Blog, Most Extravagant Giveaways, Best Literary Fiction Blog and Best Author Blog. Just perusing the list of nominees you're likely to discover some great new sites and a plethora of reading suggestions.

Okay, this message might be just a bit commercial because as you vote we'd like you to keep in mind...

In the Best Book Club Blog category, ReadingGroupGuides.com is up for contention!

Now note that we are nominated along with Jennifer Hart's Book Club Girl. Jennifer is a regular contributor to the RGG.com blog and a Harper Collins exec, and Book Club Girl is also nominated in the Best Publishing/Industry Blog category.

Another RGG.com contributor, Heather Johnson, is up for contention for her blog, Age 30: A Year of Books, in the Most Chatty category.

And Trish Collins, who also has written for us, earned nods in two categories for her blog Hey, Lady! Whatcha Readin' --- Most Chatty and Funniest/Most Humorous Blogs.

Voting is open until September 12 at midnight.

Vote responsibly. And trust we have been told that chads are not going to be a problem.

Thank you!
