Members of the Hawai'i Book Academy have just finished casting their ballots for the 2007 Ka Palapala Po'okela book awards, which honor the best in Hawaii book publishing. But there's one thing missing: You — people who love to read. The Hawai'i Publishers' Association would like your vote for the best book of the year. To see the list of 64 nominated books, go to: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/dailypix/2007/Apr/22/KaPalapala07-Nominees.pdf, and you can download a pdf file of the nominees. E-mail your choice — write the title in the subject line — to hawaiibookpublishers@gmail.com. Voting deadline: May 11. The results of the 14th annual awards will be announced by the Hawai'i Book Publishers Association at a ceremony at Mission Memorial Auditorium on May 17, and will be published here on May 20.
