I can't believe it fell off that fast! I'll check again or find a replacement. I own a surprising number of unread books that fits.

Approved, but both are only in e-book/kindle form, so you need to get approval for length as well!
Hello! May I get approval for-The Final Nightmare as space opera?
The book I picked for steampunk- Etiquette and Espionage has 1,489 users marking it as such, so I am not as worried about that getting genre approved, unless that's commonly done? Sorry, I'm more than a bit of a newbie.
