There are 3 ways to vote.
1. Go to the shared Google doc and place a | next to the books you wish to vote for.
2. Email me your 12 selections to pdugmore2001 at yahoo dot co dot nz. (I won't reveal who voted for what).
3. Leave a comment with your 12 selections.
Last year we ended up with some clear "winners" i.e. some with more than one vote, so that made it reasonably easy to rank the 12 books. If we do end up with lots of books with single votes, I shall randomise them and choose the first 12. Please make your selections by 24th January 2010 and I will announce the list in my next post (which will also include a give away).
Let the voting begin!!
