VOTE: Help Make A Dream Come True

Thursday, May 3, 2012
Hi, y'all! Zoë Triska here, Associate Books Editor at HuffPost Books.

We're beginning a daily newsletter where every member of our team will discuss their favorite book news of the week.

I wanted to highlight a particularly special project that we're now in the midst of. We are running a contest with The Buried Life, authors of the new book "What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?"

Last month, we asked you about that one thing you wanted to accomplish before your life ends. We received over 500 amazing responses, stories of family bonds, giving back and lifelong goals.

Many people will never get a chance to accomplish their ultimate dreams, so we're trying our hardest to make at least one person's wish come true.

Who will it be? We're letting you decide.

Take a look at our 10 finalized submissions. You'll have until the end of this week, that is until 11:59pm EST on Friday, May 4th, to vote! Click here to vote!
