So the four judges and I thought we would offer a little extra contest. I had each of them send me their top five favorite titles, which I have compiled in a list below. You can see these twenty titles are excellent, intriguing hints of the stories they herald.
Here's the game: Each of you gets to vote on your three favorites. Email your picks to me (aestengl@gmail.com) listed in order of preference. Your top pick will get 10 points, your second pick will get 5 points, your third pick will get 3 points.
I will tally up the points on Friday, and the author whose title received the most points will win . . .

The Carousel in Casimir Gardens!
You ladies both need to vote according to the rules! Email me with your top THREE picks. (aestengl@gmail.com)
Ooh, that's a tough one! I will have to think on these for a bit. They all sound so interesting!
What intriguing-sounding titles! That's such a clever idea, and what a great prize, too. So excited about the book. The more I read over the summaries of the stories that were chosen, the more intrigued I become. Good job to everyone.
Oh how fun! Only giving us the titles is a terrible tease, however...I want to read the stories now!!! They're all so marvelous, how to choose!
I agree with Savannah! All these stories sound so interesting that I want to read them as well!
My top three in order are
The Rose of the Underworld
The Waterfall's Wager
Bound by Tattered Wings
Remember, ladies, you're not supposed to post your votes here. You need to email them to me (aestengl@gmail.com) in private. Thank you!
Oh, how fun! I'm with Jenelle. I'm going to have to think about this. All of these sound wonderful!
This is a hard decision!! There are so many great titles.
