Not-So Austen Bookworm Awards 2013 ~ Winners Announced

[Booknut, Head Moderator]

A group is not a group without the people in it.

The time. The effort. The brilliant ideas and creativity. All these things and more are the buildings bricks of this bookclub, making it what it is today. We would not have half the fun, magic, members and memories if it weren't for everyone's ongoing input.

Therefore, using the information I'm privy to as moderator, I will be hosting the Not So Austen Bookworm Awards 2013 - our second Bookworm Awards for this group.

The 15 bookworms (members) who have contributed most in this group will be put into a poll. This is determined by the amount of time they spend in the group online, the amount of comments and total input. That is not to say that there aren't some beautiful people who contribute greatly however often - but this is a chance to commend those who tirelessly work towards keeping the group up and running.

The rest of you will then be able to vote for your choice via the poll. When voting choose the bookworm who you think has (over the past year):
- Shown a deep love of books
- Contributed the most to the group
- Shown bookworm spirit
- Shown kindness to their fellow bookworms

The 5 bookworms with the highest number of votes will be declared this year's Not-So Austen Bookworms and will receive a prize.

Voting finishes on the 20th of December.

Best of luck to everyone!!! <3
