I'm curious to learn why Corrag, which I seconded, did not qualify. The nominator omitted to mention the author's name, but I supplied it in my second.

All of the required elements must be present in the original nomination for it to count. The member who nominated that book, nominated two books. Therefore, neither book counts right now.

[Jemima]

Abigail it’s because he nominated first one book and then that one straight after. Check above the Corrag nomination. Maybe if you haven’t nominated yet, you could get in and nominate that one.
