Announcing the Book It to Bermuda Book Review Contest Finalists!

We are delighted to announce the finalists in our Book It to Bermuda Book Review Contest! Entrants submitted a book review, and the Gather community read and voted on each entry, narrowing the pool down to our final picks. The finalists' book reviews are now en route to our guest judge, public radio arts reporter, Marianne Combs, who will choose the Grand Prize winner.

The Grand Prize Winner and a guest will embark on the Gather.com Book It to Bermuda literary cruise on Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas, where they will meet and interact with top-selling authors, literary agents, and other industry experts in one-of-a-kind discussions and receptions.

And without further ado, the finalists are:
