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.

ReplyDeleteI am blown away by entry three, so that has my vote. Honestly though, all them are amazing, and it was a hard choice. Congrats to all the finalists.
ReplyDeleteAll the entries are GORGEOUS! I'm putting in my vote for Entry 3 though :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to all the contestants!
I vote Entry Three!
ReplyDeleteThough they are all pretty amazing.
These are AMAZING!! I think I have to go with....
ReplyDeleteENTRY 5

entry 5
ReplyDeleteEntry 4
ReplyDeleteEntry 4 :)
ReplyDeleteEntry Three. Although they are all pretty amazing
ReplyDeleteEntry Three
ReplyDeleteHard choice but I'll have to go with Entry Three. However, they are all really good!
ReplyDeleteI like number 1 with number 3's back side.
ReplyDeleteEntry One
ReplyDeleteEntry 3!!
ReplyDelete5! It is unique, clean and simple! Nothing beats that! :D
ReplyDeleteI love entry one.. but I vote for Entry Five.
ReplyDeleteEntry 3
ReplyDeleteI could see why you had such a hard time choosing one,they are all really good. I vote for entry 3.
ReplyDeleteEntry 1
ReplyDeleteEntry 1 love the idea
ReplyDeleteEntry 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!
ReplyDeleteSO 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!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3
ReplyDeleteEntry 2!
ReplyDeleteThey're all awesome but my favourite is ...
ReplyDeleteEntry 3 !
Number 3, just change people by person and it's perfect <3
ReplyDeleteThese are all fantastic but Entry 3 is as perfect as they get. CAN I MARRY IT?
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI like entry number 3! I like that it's vertical and the use of elements.
I love the simplicity and focus of entry 5
ReplyDeleteEntry 6, definitely!
ReplyDeleteEntry 1
ReplyDeleteThat one is just different from the others. It got to me more then the rest. It looks like something I would use.
That being said all the entrys are gorgeous and congrats to all the finalist!
Entry 3!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, especially 1, but entry 3 seems the most organized and creative at the same time :)
OK...now I get why you had such trouble choosing your favourite! All of them are amazing but Entry 3 gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteEntry 1 is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWow, what great work by all six. My vote goes to entry 3.
ReplyDeleteMichele K
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. :)
ReplyDeleteThey 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!
ReplyDelete5

Hard to choose, but love Entry 3.
ReplyDeleteentry 5
ReplyDeleteOh 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!!
ReplyDeletePS - 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
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!
DeleteEntry Three!

ReplyDeleteEntry 2
ReplyDeleteEntry Six!

ReplyDeleteEntry 6! It has the clearest info, very succinct, most zappy, and the scales are great.
ReplyDeleteEntry THREE! It's gorgeous! They all are, but this one is my fave!

ReplyDeleteEntry 6!!! :D
ReplyDeleteEntry 6
ReplyDeleteEntry 6:)
ReplyDeleteEntry 6! I really love how this one stood out and added more elements to it other than the cover page, very creative :)
ReplyDeleteentry 3 though I like number one's quote
ReplyDeleteentry 6 :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ones that are saying 1 with the back side of 3. I think that would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3!!!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3 is awesome. But Entry 1 and the back of Entry 3 would be cool too :)
ReplyDeleteEntry 6 is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3
ReplyDeleteEntry 5 - even though I love them all so much!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEntry 3 is also pretty awesome!
Definitely 6 -- LOVE the scales and the easy-to-read, eye catching design. Wonderful job, though, everyone!!

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh man, these are all so beautiful! You're one lucky girl, Anna. ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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
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!!!
ReplyDeleteAnna, this is such a cool idea, BTW. ;)
Entry 3!
ReplyDeleteI love Entry #6!
ReplyDeleteGah! 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
ReplyDeleteI vote for ENTRY #3!!!Love it...XDD
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely! I vote #6
ReplyDeleteEntry 6! Nice to see that the designer used something other than the cover.
ReplyDeleteEntry 6
ReplyDelete6!
ReplyDeleteEntry 2.
ReplyDeleteEntry 2
ReplyDeleteEntry one for sure! i love it!
ReplyDeleteEntry 6!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDelete1!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! 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)
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous! I vote for #6
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard!! They r all good.But my vote is for entry 3 :)
ReplyDeleteI love them all! But I think my favorite is #6. The ISBN and punch line were the winning factors.
ReplyDelete#6!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the clean cut design of #6!! The scales are just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWOWWW. 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!
ReplyDeleteNumber 6!

ReplyDeleteEntry #3!!!
ReplyDeleteentry 3 ^^
ReplyDeleteEntry Three
ReplyDeleteI love # 6!! It's gorgeous. The others are pretty too!
ReplyDeleteEntry 4 it's mysterious, tells you where to go, and isn't too text heavy. Although if I could I'd buy them all!
ReplyDeleteEntry #6! The fish-scale design is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but my favorite would have to be number three!
ReplyDeleteThey are all very pretty but I think I'll have to go with #6.
ReplyDeleteEntry 1
ReplyDeleteEntry 1 is beautiful! I absolutly luv it!
