Only five days remain for booksellers and librarians on the Quills Nominating Board to cast their votes for the 2006 Quill Book Awards. The voting period ends at 11:59 EST on August 15.
The Quills Nominating Board is selecting five titles in 19 categories that will be presented to consumers for voting, beginning Tuesday, August 22.
The Quills long list includes titles appearing on the Book Sense Picks and titles with starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, among others. To be eligible, books must be English language books published in North America between August 1, 2005, and June 30, 2006.
Sponsored by Reed Business Information (RBI) and the NBC Universal Television Stations, the Quill Awards were established last year to honor books in a wide variety of popular categories. This year's awards will be presented during a ceremony on October 10 at the American Museum of Natural History's Milstein Hall of Ocean Life in New York City. The ceremony will be aired on Saturday, October 21, on NBC-TV owned and operated stations and will be syndicated through NBC Universal Stations.
