And the finalists are

The fifth and last book to be named finalist for the IPOD award is none other than

AND TO THINK THAT HE KISSED HIM ON LORIMER STREET


Now, a note on my selections. The process was very hard because of the quality of the books that I have found through my blog. For example, Undercover White Trash, an excellent novel, begged to be included, as did others such as Futureproof and Homefront. IM, Entrekin, and The Father were also strong. The process of selection is not perfect, and only five books can be chosen as finalists, making the enterprise difficult. I would like to thank everyone who submitted a book to the blog and all the readers who have read the blog regularly.

The winner will be announced sometime at the end of this week.
