2011 Swoontini Awards – VOTE!!

December 19, 2011 Christina 71 Comments

Well hello there, lovelies! First, some swoon…

he got all dressed up just. for. you. #bowtieswoon

So let’s get right down to business, shall we? *puts on hot glasses* Last week we asked you guys to nominate your three top Swooniest Boy/most Badass Chick of 2011, and added a Super Duper Book Bundle of Awesome to sweeten the deal. Well, take one Bronco’s football helmet (not mine), a whole lot of names written on Sponge Bob notebook paper (also not mine) and we get a winner!! *drum roll* Congrats to Heather62981, who wins our amazingly swoontastic pile O’ books! *confetti* Drop us a line and the Hot UPS Man package is on its way!

we promise not to send this guy.

And now it’s time to VOTE! And because we love and appreciate you all so much (and really just love any excuse to drink wear a party dress), we’re throwing in a BRAND SPANKING NEW KINDLE TOUCH. How do you enter? Well… just vote and leave us a comment saying hi (we need the comment to know who voted)!!! That’s all we ask. Do you have to tweet/blog/tattoo our names on your chest/build a shrine in our honor/pledge your undying love and servitude to us? OF COURSE NOT, although we’d be super stoked if you did. Just vote, leave a comment, and on December 30th we’ll compile the names of everyone who voted and random.org will pick a winner! Simple, right? (a note: if you nominated and it’s not here/wrong, it either wasn’t YA, wasn’t a 2011 release, or Christina has *gasp* screwed up. In which case, let us know and we shall fix.)

Let’s do this…


And that’s it!

Thanks to everyone who nominated, voted, follows us on twitter (Christina, Lo, Swoontini), reads/comments on our posts or reblogs us on tumblr. We couldn’t (and wouldn’t want to) do any of this without you guys! We hope you have a beautiful and safe holiday, and wish you nothing but amazing things in 2012. *clinks glass* *takes bottle away from Lo* *takes mistletoe away from Christina*

Announcements Badass Chick on Board, giveaway, more authors than you can shake a stick at, Swoony Boy Alert, we love our readers

    Merry Christmas to you too 🙂 For the girls, I voted for Tris, because really–no one kicks ass as much as her. For the boys, it was hard to choose. You know I can’t pick between Four, Etienne, Jeffrey, and omg Widget, but ultimately I had to pick Jeffrey. Because:

  12. Tristina Wright says

    December 19, 2011 at 4:58 pm

    Wheee!!! So hard to pick just ONE.

  13. Anna says

    December 19, 2011 at 5:09 pm

    It was soooo hard to choose! But I did.

    Happy Holidays, ladies.

  14. Tara says

  18. Mel says

    December 19, 2011 at 6:29 pm

  22. Amy says

    December 19, 2011 at 7:20 pm

    That may be the hardest decison I’ve had to make all year!

  23. Broccoli says

    December 19, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    Tris is a badass because she made her own choices and didn’t let what other people thought get in the way of her actions.

  24. Michelle V. says

    December 19, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    I think it took me 20 minutes to choose between Etienne and Cricket. Killing me here, guys! Great round up, though. And as usual, I love you talented ladies. <3<3

  25. Kate says

    December 19, 2011 at 8:07 pm

    Ooh, Karou and Etienne, hands down.

    Happy Christmas!

  28. dani says

    December 19, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    Why, oh why did you have to make me choose between Cricket and Étienne. Not fair!

    But I understand – In the end there can be only one…

    Thanks for the swoons.

  29. Rachel says

    December 19, 2011 at 8:49 pm

  30. Sarah says

    December 19, 2011 at 9:30 pm

  32. Toni says

    December 20, 2011 at 1:52 am

    Wow, that was harder than I thought it’d be when all the swoon worthy are listed out like that. But I did it! I forced myself to choose only two, one swoony one badassery.

  33. Shanon W. says

    December 20, 2011 at 1:58 am

  39. Rheana says

    December 20, 2011 at 3:29 am

  40. Grisel M says

    December 20, 2011 at 5:17 am

    it was so hard to choose.

  41. Tawna says

    December 20, 2011 at 5:20 am

    So hard to choose between Four, Adam Kent, and Tucker…but Four’s confidence puts him in the lead in my book.

  42. Meg says

    December 20, 2011 at 6:11 am

    Merry Christmas, Pretty Ladies! Can’t wait to hear who wins for the guys and the girls!

  43. Aneesa V says

    December 20, 2011 at 9:04 am

    Voted, but a VERY tough choice. Got stuck on the boys since they’re all soooo swoony *sigh*…
    Anyway, thanks for doing this. I’m going to check out of all the books mentioned that I haven’t read yet. 😀

    December 20, 2011 at 12:24 pm

    Nearly impossible to choose – so many swoon worthy candidates! And as for the Kickass ladies – well I can’t wait to see who will battle it out between those vixens! Thanks for a fun ride this year girls, I can’t wait for more in 2012 from you both! *raises glass, chink, chink* And a Merry Christmas (as Etienne St Clair would say!) and Happy New Year to all from an England!

  45. Christina2227 says

    December 20, 2011 at 2:37 pm

    *chews on bottom lip & then clicks submit*

    I did it!!! I made the decision. It was a hard one, but I’m satisfied with my choosing. I think. Erm… No, I did.

    I’ll be so happy when you lurvely ladies put out your books. Then, I’m sure I won’t have such a hard time picking a favorite. 🙂

    Happy holidays to all of you!

    Tackle-huggles,
    Christina

  46. Justine says

    December 20, 2011 at 5:50 pm

    I don’t think heroines get anymore bad-ass than Briony and Karou. I’m not really sure how to choose.

    However, swoony boy of the year? Tucker Avery. Hands freaking down.

    Thanks for the contest, ladies. Happy holidays!

  47. Heidi says

    December 20, 2011 at 8:41 pm

    I’m always so torn between Divergent’s characters and Shatter Me’s characters. *sigh*

  48. cosnmom says

    December 20, 2011 at 9:19 pm

  50. Jenn says

    December 21, 2011 at 4:54 am

    You guys rock and I am so excited for you both! I voted although it was very hard to decide between them all. Have a wonderful Holiday! 🙂

  51. Ashley says

    December 21, 2011 at 5:25 am

    Very difficult to choose! Especially since most of the books I haven’t gotten a chance to read yet! *shame face* That will change as soon as Christmas arrives though!

  52. Kelli says

    December 21, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    So hard to choose – I ended up with Cricket (who you just want to hug) and Karou (who you just want to be.) Now I’m off to make sure all of these books are on my reading list!

  53. Megan says

    December 22, 2011 at 4:50 am

    Hardest decision I’ve ever made…….

  54. Caro C says

    December 23, 2011 at 4:38 pm
