Hurry, the Puddly Awards are here

In all the hoopla surrounding the movie industry this time of year (Oscar nominations, Golden Globe winners, Sundance Film Festival) you might be missing out on the star-studded affair of the 2007 Puddly Awards put on by Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon.  Looks like the winners get an ultra-sexy statue of golden galoshes (man, they are so lucky)!

Powell’s invites readers to vote on the best books they read in 2006. Voting ends on January 30th with the winners in fiction and non-fiction being announced shortly thereafter, along with the top 50 book nominations.  You can even when a $250 gift certificate for participating (personally, I really want those golden galoshes…).  Last year’s winners were The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (fiction) and Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking (nonfiction).
