And we’re certain it’s because of you Read Riordan stalwarts who flooded the Goodreads Choice Awards website with all the votes. We commend your commitment to this crucial democratic process. Think of it as a primary, and now we’re on to the general election!

But which do we choose, Aru Shah and the City of Gold or Daughter of the Deep? Can we choose both? We want to choose both. The nice thing about having two of our favorite books of 2021 as finalists is that both options are amazing! But let’s not forget about their competitors in the race. Some other heavy hitters are also finalists, so our get-out-the-vote efforts aren’t over yet. You have two more days to vote. Don’t delay!

Cast your vote by Sunday, December 5 here. Congrats to all the finalists!
