VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE!

Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've mentioned in passing that you guys suck in the best possible way. You've made picking the winner for my bookmark contest haaaaaard. So many great (and by great, I mean fan-flipping-tastic) entries. There were well over a hundred entries. I was almost in tears trying to pick a winner. This was supposed to be fun. If not for you, then AT LEAST for me, right? Right??

Shame. On. You.

So now I'm putting the ball in your court (cliche alert! Ew). Now you must suffer with indecision. Bite your lip bloody and raw. Drink wine from the bottle with said bloody/raw lip.

However, I have made it a tidly bit easier for you. I've narrowed the contest down to the top six entries. Instead of hundreds of entries, you just have to choose between six. Easy, yes? (Insert maniacal laugh here, then the gulping sound of drinking more wine, followed by an unladylike hiccup).

Here are the rules:

1.) Vote in the comment section. (For example: Entry one. Another example: Entry two. See how it works?) I don't feel like messing with one of those poll widget things. This also gives you a chance to give praise to the finalists.


2.) If you leave a negative comment about any entries, your vote will not count, your comment will be deleted, I will secretly consider you a bad person and possibly a poor sport, other people will know that you're a jerk, and your mother will be utterly and irretrievably ashamed of you and what you have let yourself become.


3.) You may vote only once. (Because duh).


4.) All votes must be in by midnight on February 15th. Any votes posted in the comments after that deadline will not be counted. I am not responsible for what time zone you're in. I don't even know what time zone I'm in, so good luck with that.


ENTRY ONE

 
 
 
 
ENTRY TWO

  9. I love entry one.. but I vote for Entry Five.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I could see why you had such a hard time choosing one,they are all really good. I vote for entry 3.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Entry one with the back of entry three. Because the black portion of entry one makes it look really stylish and way beyond cool, while the back of entry three works great for your readers and readers like me who haven't read Of Poseidon yet. The synopsis would be a great addition at the back of the bookmark. Really. Hope my vote still counts!

    ReplyDelete
  12. SO MANY PRETTIES! I think you should pick them ALL! But if I had to choose one, I'd go with Entry Three. But seriously, too all who entered: they're all stunning. GREAT JOB!

  29. This is hard! Something about #1 really appeals to me - the simplicity of it and contrast between the two sides, so I'm going with that one. :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. They are all gorgeous bookmarks! For me, it's a tie between number 3 and number 4. I think I'll choose number 3 though! That one is awesome! I can't wait to read the sequel!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have to say...entry 3! SO good!

  34. Hard to choose, but love Entry 3.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh my goodness, this IS hard!!! I feel for you, having had over a hundred to choose from, phew!! But, since you did all the hard work, let's see... number 3 and number 6. what?? I can only choose one?! Gah! 3, 6, 3, 6, 3, 6, .... ok, ok, **I'll go with number THREE**!!!! But seriously, the folks who made these are all incredibly talented, and I wish I could have only as much creativity as they surely have in their little fingers! Great job to all!!

    PS - I think I like 6 so much because I used to work in a library, and I love libraries, and having the ISBNs and the publisher name on there ROCKS

    1. AND I just realized that the light blue background on #6 is like fish scales!!! Awesome. I'm telling you, this was a REALLY hard choice!

  49. I really love 5 because its so simple and the cover is so gorgeous that it doesn't need anything else around it :D

    ReplyDelete
  50. My vote goes to #6! I love the fish scale pattern going on, and the tagline.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think they're all lovely, but my favourite is number 6. I think the colours are spot on, not too mention it has the perfect combination of whimsy and professionalism. Definitely the best in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Entry 6! It has the clearest info, very succinct, most zappy, and the scales are great.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Entry THREE! It's gorgeous! They all are, but this one is my fave!

    ReplyDelete
  54. ENTRY THREE
    Though, wait a sec...shouldnt it be "to save people she's never known"
    or "to save a person she\s never known"
    Though all look amazingly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  59. I really like entry 3 the most, but they're all so amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Entry 6! I really love how this one stood out and added more elements to it other than the cover page, very creative :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. entry 3 though I like number one's quote

    ReplyDelete
  62. I agree with the ones that are saying 1 with the back side of 3. I think that would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Entry 3 is awesome. But Entry 1 and the back of Entry 3 would be cool too :)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Entry 5 - even though I love them all so much!!!!!
    Entry 3 is also pretty awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Definitely 6 -- LOVE the scales and the easy-to-read, eye catching design. Wonderful job, though, everyone!!

    ReplyDelete

  70. Oh man, these are all so beautiful! You're one lucky girl, Anna. ;)

    I think I'll have to go with #6 -- LOVE the ISBN inclusion, the scales motif, and the text-light, elegant design with that powerful, one-two-punch of a tagline. :D

    ReplyDelete
  71. Gah. Stinky typo. They are all INCREDIBLE. Entry 6 makes me extra swoony, though, because I do love me some blue mermaid scales. So #6!!!

    Anna, this is such a cool idea, BTW. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  72. Gah! Just realized my kid hit the wrong number and my entry was messed up! On entry SIX #6, the background makes it intricate, yet clean and beautiful #6!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  73. I vote for ENTRY #3!!!Love it...XDD

    ReplyDelete
  74. Entry 6! Nice to see that the designer used something other than the cover.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Entry one for sure! i love it!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I love Entry 1, but where's the other side of the bookmark? If Entry 1 doesn't have a reverse side with author info, etc., then I'll have to go with Entry 4.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Wow! I can see why you found it so difficult to choose only one! They're all GORGEOUS!! I had to flip a coin for my choice between one and three (because I couldn't decide which one to pick), so my choice is numberrrrrr.....three. No, it's one...or maybe four? OK! OK! Geez, why does this have to be so hard? Fine, I'll stick with my first choice - number THREE. :D (Angie Edwards)

    ReplyDelete
  78. It is so hard!! They r all good.But my vote is for entry 3 :)

    ReplyDelete
  79. I love them all! But I think my favorite is #6. The ISBN and punch line were the winning factors.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I love the clean cut design of #6!! The scales are just beautiful :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. WOWWW. Those are all so pretty. I'm in awe. I could never do that. Haha. NEVER. This is such a big choice but I'm going to co with ENTRY #6. Though they are alll so pretty with the smooth scales and all that! Good luck to everyone!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  90. I vote for Entry Three! It's plain gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Number 3 for sure! But all the entries are amazing :D

    ReplyDelete
  92. I love # 6!! It's gorgeous. The others are pretty too!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Entry 4 it's mysterious, tells you where to go, and isn't too text heavy. Although if I could I'd buy them all!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Entry #6! The fish-scale design is so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Oh gosh, they are all so creative! I like # 1 & 3...can I do that? Well, I like ALL of them, but 1 & 3 are the best I could do at narrowing it down! Ah! Did number one have a back? I love the blending work that one has, simple and unique...I think it would work well for male and female readers! Seeing the back might help me decide lol, I'm not sure though, every last one of these entries are awesome!! GREAT job all of you!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. I like them all, but my favorite would have to be number three!
