I omitted two books from the poll accidentally. If you voted, please check again, so you have a chance to vote for those books if you choose.
The poll is up. It will close on September 26th. Thanks for nominating and voting!https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...
This is a friendly but firm reminder to post links with your nominations. It's massively easier for the poll coordinator to put the poll together if you take a few moments and post a Goodreads link. I still added your noms even if you didn't this time, but next time I may not. Thank you!
Please post a Goodreads Link with your nomination. Thanks for all the nominations!
We have only one nomination. Because of that, I will extend the nomination period for another five days. Thanks for the nomination, Gisela.
