Amazon YA contest: vote 'em up
Scott
Click here to vote for THE ROOKIE
Amazon is having an "Essential YA Reader List" contest. Time to see if the Junkie Nation can flex a little muscle and see if we have the juice to get THE ROOKIE all up on that sucka. You can win ten YA books (listed below). Only takes a few seconds, and I'm curious if we have enough numbers to make Amazon take notice of the lil' book we all created together.
Prizes. Amazon will award a total of 10 prizes, each consisting of a prize package containing the following 10 books:
- Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (paperback) (ARV $9.99);
- Monster by Walter Dean Myers (paperback) (ARV $8.99);
- The Giver by Lois Lowry (paperback) (ARV $8.95);
- The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (paperback) (ARV $7.19);
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (paperback) (ARV $7.79);
- Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan (paperback) (ARV $8.99);
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (paperback) (ARV $8.94);
- Crank by Ellen Hopkins (paperback) (ARV $6.35);
- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher (paperback) (ARV $6.46)
- The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1) by Philip Pullman (paperback) (ARV $10.16).

Problems with the voting
I filled everything out correctly and when I clicked the summit button red lettering appeared under the *your name box* telling me to please fill in my name. Which I already did correctly in the first place (does everyone understand so far?) pretty much what im trying to say is it won't except my vote. Is anyone else having this problem trying to summit their vote for The Rookie at Amazon.com..........The extremely humble owner of "THE ROOKIE" #2487/3000
Since I'm reading it and really like it
I just voted for it tooI hear that my name will be mentioned in Nocturnal! Pre-order a copy TODAY!
I had the same problem.
If you have an account, log in first. It automatically entered my email address in the name field and that worked for me. If you don't have an account, try putting your email address in both fields and see what happens.

Did someone help?
My NAME field was auto-populated with the e-mail address I use for amazon. Try your amazon account's e-mail address? It worked when I erased my name and put my e-mail address back in there. Ignore me if this is redundant. XI hear that my name will be mentioned in Nocturnal! Pre-order a copy TODAY!

Voted for The Rookie. Now to wait.
I like this
The contest is to win 10 YA books, but in order to register a person must be an adult . . . Sure, sure, someone can register for a young adult, but it just seems a little bassakwards to me. Vote cast for the greatest sci-fi mashup ever written.
I lied. Amazon won't let me cast a vote. It says I don't have a name repeatedly. May just have to try again later.
Voted and name prob solved
Don't have an account as I'm in the UK (the accounts aren't global) Entered my name with no spaces and made it look like an email addy. So name@1.o and it worked fine. Might help some others. Epic code fail!

Name Problem
Either it doesn't like my name either or you need to use your email address in both fields. That is how I managed to vote.
No one listens to me when I talk....
I said this already down below....

That's what I ended up doing.
It's just sad that the coding for the page is so messed up that it doesn't know what it wants.
I LISTENED!

All of you'uns suggestions were helpful
Thank you Twainy, Mr Fahrenheit, and last but not least Belladonna420. You were all helpful with the voting process..........The extremely humble owner of "THE ROOKIE" #2487/3000
I'm sorry. Forgive me?
I see I was redundant. I check in here on a phone ... 3G, wifi, and the site are all SLOW on this thing!!!! I generally have posted and left before half of the posts actually show up. I shoulda known that I couldn't be helpful for once :o( LOL I listen to you, you have good INTEL.I hear that my name will be mentioned in Nocturnal! Pre-order a copy TODAY!
Look at this community!
Lookit y'all, helping each other out to try and get some Amazon love for THE ROOKIE. All we can hope for is that most non-Sigler fans are idjits and can't figure out the code thingee. YOU ALL ROCK!
No worries, I'm used to it.
No one in my family ever listens to me either. Why should this family be any different??

Yep here too
Another vote for the FDO
Mission Complete
FYI FDO
The Rookie win or lose - should be required reading in our junior school systems!
PEACE!
I did that too
Since I have an amazon account it automatically put my email address in the name field and didn't like it when I removed it, so I put it back. Here's hoping for The Rookie!
Do not mess with the affairs of monsters, for you are tasty and good with ketchup.
did my bit
Goooo Krakens!
I did, it's done
Love it, let's see it blow their sweepstakes up!
