Living Abroad in Nicaragua nominated for 2006 Book of the Year Award!

By Joshua | December 9th, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Planeta.com viewers are voting this month for the 2006 Book of the Year Awards in a variety of categories — Moon Living Abroad In Nicaragua, my most recent title (written with co-author Randy Wood), is nominated for best “PLACE-BASED GUIDEBOOK” along with several other Latin America titles. The other categories (Food, Environment, Travel) feature new titles that I can’t wait to check out. In the meantime, viewers can vote online — that means you. Be sure to read all the nominee descriptions first. Better yet — buy all the books, travel with each them to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Argentina, then make a fully informed decision. (Or just vote.)
