Goodreads Choice

Readers and Friends -

I was thrilled to see that The Pearl That Broke Its Shell was nominated as a Best Book of 2014 in 2 categories - Fiction and Debut Goodreads Authors. What a surprise! Of course, this has everything to do with having incredibly supportive readers. I'm grateful to all of you who have shared in Rahima and Shekiba's journeys.

The voting is open now. Please take a look at the Goodreads Home Page for a link to cast your vote. I would love to see Pearl make it to the next round.

Thanks, as always, for reading --

Nadia

Semifinals!

Friends/readers,

So thankful for the many votes and ratings that have landed Pearl in the semifinal round of the Goodreads Choice awards. I'm so very pleased to be nominated for both Fiction and Debut Author.

This week, voting is again open. Please take a moment to vote for your favorites. I can promise you, as an author, I am really moved by the time readers have taken to vote for Pearl, send me a message or recommend Pearl to others.

Voting closes on Saturday. Happy voting, everyone!

Time to Vote!

Friends, readers -
I was so happy to find out WHEN THE MOON IS LOW was nominated for best fiction in the 2015 Goodreads Choice awards. This means so much because it's a direct reflection of the opinion of readers.

It's time for the first round of voting and I'm making my plea for everyone to get clickin' in all categories. Please take a moment to vote for your choices. It may sound cheesy but it's the truth - it is an honor simply to be nominated.

Consider this a friendly warm up for the upcoming 2016 presidential vote you'll be casting a year from now!

My friends at William Morrow helped me put together a video giving some background on the bacha posh tradition and how I came to write this story.
