How the heck do you know so much about so many things and how on God's green earth do I know so little when I used to think I knew so much?? That is all I have to say. I can't comment intelligently on this because I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-55837793021798489672009-01-05T08:25:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:25:00.000-08:00.Of course, the AML sometimes gives honorable ment....<BR/><BR/>Of course, the AML sometimes gives honorable mentions and the Whitney releases nominees before choosing a winner, so I think the odds of all the books you mention getting cited at least once is high.Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-1035679907221394512009-01-05T08:14:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:14:00.000-08:00I think _Bound on Earth_ is a shoe-in for the AML ...I think _Bound on Earth_ is a shoe-in for the AML award. I haven't read it, but I have read the original set of stories it was based on. I also think there's a strong possibility of a repeat sweep. If anything _Bound on Earth_ crossed over to more "LDS lit" readers than _On the Road to Heaven_. <BR/><BR/>But I agree that Abinadi is in contention for the Whitney and _Angel Falling Softly_ is a dark horse for the AML Award as is Doug Thayer's recently published novel (the latter more than the former).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
