There's an article in The Guardian about World Book Day's 'Spread the Word' list of 100 'hidden gems', of which the stunning
Salt & Honey is one.
Read the article here and, if you haven't done so already, vote for Salt & Honey here.
It's brilliant in itself that Salt & Honey has made this list of 100 but if enough people vote for it then it will make the top ten shortlist and might even win the World Book Day 2008 prize. Even better! We think it more than deserves this accolade, and are sure everyone who's read it agrees, so it would be wonderful if you could help out by voting now...
HOW TO VOTE:
It seems to work best if you register on the site first with a username and password and then click on the 'vote for this book' option straight after you've logged in. Once you've voted you will then be able to read more about the book and also leave a comment of your own. Some of the comments aren't viewable yet but please do leave one anyway as I'm sure they'll be displayed at some point soon and it will be great to get lots of word of mouth buzz going about this amazing novel.
Many thanks to you all in advance for your support, it's massively appreciated both by us and by Candi.

PS -
One of the latest comments from a voter on the page is as follows:
Must Read
This book is a flood of emotion. It is a beautiful story, sad and exciting, uplifting and intriguing. It is a painful love story and deals with huge issues without being overbearing or sickly. It's funny, provocative and enthralling. I think it would appeal to a young adult audience as well as an adult reader of literary fiction. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be on everyone's reading list.
