    I saw the list of nominations and one was “A Gathering Light” by Jennifer Donnelly. I realized I’d read it after I read the description, but I read it as “A Northern Light”
    (I read the American version). Weird name changes across the Atlantic, huh? (I was referring to the “Northern Lights”/”The Golden Compass” change, if you didn’t catch that.)And no, I did not vote for it. I voted for “Northern Lights.”

    This ramboling comment sound cool it my head, but doesn’t look so cool on in print. I hope someone gets what I’m trying to say.
