No problem. As it goes I wish I had not wasted one of my nominations.
Might not matter anyway as
The Night Life of the Gods and
Kidnapped look to be the ones to beat when the vote comes. I recently reread another Robert Louis Stevenson book,
The Black Arrow. Another tale of a poor orphan boy who with the help of other more powerful people (some of them real historical figures) manages to find fortune and true love in the end. I actually liked
Black Arrow better, but that mainly because the setting of the War of the Roses was of more interest to me than the setting of Kidnapped.
