Bookish Oscars Quiz/Ballot – voting closed

The Oscars have come and gone but that doesn’t mean that we can’t do some voting of our own.  I want you to vote for who you think will win (who everyone else will be voting for!).  More same votes = more points.  You have until Sunday noon to submit your ‘ballot’.

Here’s how I tallied the votes. 11 points for answer, 9 points, for second, etc. No points if there was only one vote.

When you are heading to the ceremony, who would be the Best Arm Candy?

1. Sebastian Junger (photo from his website). 5 votes   2.Jasper FfordeJasper Fforde (photo from Goodreads profile).  2 votes  3.Author Nicholas SparksNicholas Sparks (photo from his website).  4.
