Nominations and Accolades, Oh My!

It's that time of year when sites start accepting nominations and votes for the best reads of 2008. How much they do to help promote a writer, I'm not sure, but it is most flattering when reviewers and readers make the nominations. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the authors have nominated themselves. It's really hard to tell who has the most readers or the most friends. I suppose in part, these are popularity contests. But in a way they're fun and a refreshing way to get your name out there. And if you win, it's a new entry on your email sig line, right?

So, without further ado, some nominations for The Morgans and a few of our Friends.
