I will try to update the Nominations List in accordance with the above voting results by the end of the weekend.

Please let me know if you think I've made an error in tabulating the vote totals. I've tried to be careful, but if I've missed something, now is the time to point it out.

And here's to another wonderful year reading with the Catholic Book Club.

When I went to rearrange the Nomination List, I discovered that two people had cast their votes by responding to the CBCModerator's announcement of the vote, which is an unmonitored mailbox. They both cast their votes on a timely basis, so in keeping with past practice, we've added them to the vote. This changes the results slightly.

Screwtape Letters still has the most votes, but with 8, rather than 7.

The Ghost of Madison Avenue moves from 3 votes to 4.

Ancient of Genes, Faith of Our Fathers, The World of Marian Apparitions and The Second Greatest Story Ever Told all move from 2 votes to 3.

The Secrets of Successful Financial Planning is added to the list of books with 1 vote.

The Nominations List is being adjusted accordingly.
