Anyone may add books to this list, but please keep it to likely contenders (who knows, right?!), or at least to fiction published in English in the USA between December 2017 and December 2018.

You're welcome! FWIW, I approve of your "pickiness," and if everyone follows your request, we will curate a useful list.

Haha, thanks. :D The more useful the list is, the better!

A few weeks ago, when it had two votes, I messaged those people, explained why it is not eligible for the ToB, and asked them to remove their votes. Instead, they got friends to vote for it. I'm guessing they are friends of the author.
EDIT: That book is at the top of several lists where it does not belong. I just sent a help request to GR reporting the deceptive promotion and asking them to remove it from our list.

Thanks. Deceptive promotion techniques do not make me want to read this book!
GR Expert, Carmen, removed The Brave Art of Motherhood from our list as I requested. At least two other books are being promoted via our list, The Baghdad Clocks and Crowd of One. However, since they fit the criteria for inclusion, we are stuck with them.
