An Aficionado’s Guide to the top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time: VOTE & Final Nomination List
I finally voted again. This is getting hard to choose what to vote for. Several of the books that fell out the round round for only having one vote were the ones I voted for. I don't know what I'm going to do the next round! But this is a lot of fun & I have my Christmas list! Thanks so much MrsJ for putting this all together!
Round Four (4): Five votes only.I've removed the top 20 books from round 3.
Voting Ends on Saturday, October 22, 2011.
5 votes and the top 59 books move to the final round and the rest drop off to the wayside.

The final vote will take place at Goodreads in FA’s polling system. Each person will get one vote.
The list will be exactly 100 books - which is the most the system will hold. The final round will only be jockeying for position.

Good job MrsJ!This is getting tough. I had a hard time getting down to 5 votes from 8.
The next rounds/final especially is going to be horrible...in a good way.
Wow, that was hard...5 votes, what do I leave off the list...what do I vote for.... Hard, very, very hard.
This has been fun. Thanks for putting it together.
A couple of my favourites are still on the list, hope they make the cut! Voted :)
Oh man! Coming down to the wire!Mrs J rules! I wish I could reward you in person with food and beer.
MrsJ, if you ever visit down-under, Beers are on me :P
Thanks again for all your hard work! This last vote was much more difficult for me.....in the end I stopped voting for any urban fantasy and will hope for a separate list at some stage :)

Voted. Too bad we can't lobby and campaign. Send out buttons and kiss babies. A few of my favorites are still there and I want them to at least make the cut! LOL.
Since there's soooooo many books that I haven't read, I was wondering if there'd be anything left I could actually vote for this round, you know that I've actually read, but I managed to still have trouble narrowing it down to 5. Cool beans! This has been so much fun...Thanks MrsJ, you're awesome!
Can't wait to see the final product. This has been an amazing survey! I can't wait to get reading all the books that I don't know!
Voted for Round 4. Man, this is definitely getting harder! And, I, too, am looking forward to the final list. I think there will be a lot of new books I'm going to have to add to my TBR mountain.

Voted. I think all but one of the books I voted for in the last round were still there this time. It was so hard to narrow down to 5. I'm having second thoughts, lol!
Voted. The top 4 was rather easy, but it took me a while to decided on the 5th.
Man that was harder than I thought it would be. Round 4 down. Oh wow, I hope my favorites win!!

Thank all of yall for the kind words!I'm glad you're enjoying creating the list and I think that we will have the TBR of all TBRs pretty soon... :D

lol I keep forgetting that!
I voted. It was hard. There are so many on that list that I've not read yet. Best get busy, I guess...
Round four was actually hard! I didn't struggle with the others! I both look forward to and dread round five...
Round 5 is going to be really hard. One vote. Do I vote for a classic? An old favorite? A new favorite? An underdog? I have a few in mind but it's going to be a very tough vote.I look forward to the final list though.

Yikes! Didn't know we had just one vote. In that case, I'd probably go for the old favorite.
Just an FYI--the reason the structure of the voting is changing for the last few rounds is that it turns out, Survey Monkey is only free for the first 100 responses. After that it's a paid service, and MrsJ has been paying for the survey to run as it has.
Oh the pleasure and pain of voting!You are so awesome MrsJ!
Thanks so much.
Tomorrow is the final day to vote in the fourth (4th)round for FA’s “An Aficionado’s Guide to the top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time” list. The fourth round will be the deciding factor for the final list.
The top 41 books have already made it to the final round…this fourth round will decide the final 59 books.
Will YOUR favorite book or series make it to the fifth (5th) and final round? Not if you don’t vote!
The fifth (5th) round will only allow for one (1) vote per person. The fifth (5th) round will also NOT be a deciding factor as to what book makes it on the list of top 100. The fifth round will only decide which order the top 100 books will be listed in.
So, the polls for the fourth (4th) round close tomorrow. If your book doesn’t make the final list – it’s because you didn’t vote.

I'm sure I voted...but the link opened to the list again. That's a little unsettling.

I am having difficulties with the link also, it opens to "thank you for taking the survey."
I opened the link on your post...and it opened to the voting page instead of a thank you page. It concerned me did my vote count.. but I don't want to chance voting again...no cheating. My fingers are crossed.

Ah. Well, I don't vote for it either. But I think it qualifies as Fantasy, and it doesn't make much sense, in my view, to keep it off the list given the popularity of it. Kind of like keeping Potter off the list.
