Dear Book Lovers,
2011 WAS ANOTHER great year for readers. So many fabulous books were published! We reviewed more than 250 books in each issue of RT BOOK REVIEWS—more than 3,000 titles for the entire year. Our ace reviewers and have scoured 12 months’ worth of reviews to compile the best of the best for the annual RT BOOK Career Achievement and Reviewers’ Choice Awards. For the Reviewers’ Choice nominees, our star team selected only those novels that deeply resonated with them. The Career Achievement nominees have continuously crafted superior books throughout their careers in each category.
Winners will be announced in the May issue of RT, just prior to our 29th annual Booklovers Convention in Chicago, April 11 -April 15, 2012. Winners will be honored at a ceremony on April 13, and awards will be presented to the authors in attendance. We hope you will be there to celebrate with your favorites!

EEEEEKKK!!! OOOHHH THAT IS SO EXCITING ANNE! you're going to win, I know it! I'll be praying for you!
You're so sweet, Clara! I certainly don't expect to win . . . those are some pretty amazing authors in my category. I'm just honored to be listed with them. But I certainly appreciate your prayers and enthusiasm!!! :)
This is the second time I've seen (unofficially) that one of my novels is a nominee. Unable to find anywhere, but appreciate getting confirmation from a second source.
And, of course, congratulations on your own book's nomination. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You're very welcome! I didn't see it anywhere either until I found this list on my friend Jill Eileen Smith's blog. I wonder if you have to be subcribed to Romantic Times to get the information? I'm not.
Congrats and good luck for "Diagnosis Death." It looks like a great read!
