Everything You Need to Vote

Women of Literatae,

Thank you so much for getting your title recommendations in!  We wound up with 15 titles to choose from, which is actually a pretty good number: enough to actually get to choose, but not so many as to be overwhelming.

Here's what I've put together for you.  Votes are due by online ballot by midnight on July 12.  Fill in the Volunteer Grid as you see fit.  If you have any problems with any of the links, please let me know so I can adjust settings.

The Slideshow:  See all the titles, book jackets, publisher summaries, comments from nominators, and Fayetteville Public Library and Amazon availability.  They are divided into a Fiction and a Biography, Memoir, & Nonfiction section.  In an attempt to present them objectively, I arranged them by author.
You may need to click the present button in the upper right corner to view the presentation.  Then use the enter key or click your mouse to step through the slides.  If you want to return to an earlier slide, use the left arrow key to go back.  The escape key will get you out of the presentation at any time.

Scratch Paper Ballot:  If you're like me, you need to decide on paper before voting on an electronic ballot.  Print this ballot for a list of titles in the same order as the slideshow.  To fill out the online ballot, you will need to rank your six choices 1-6, with 1 being your top pick and 6 your bottom pick.

Online Ballot:  Once you have decided on your six choices and ranked them 1-6, use this online ballot to vote.  Remember that you will not rank titles other than the six you have selected.  I've included ranking of the titles so that in the event of a tie, we will not have to have a run-off.

Volunteer Grid:  Sign up for house, reviewer, and dessert.  Of course, all of this is subject to the course of Covid19.
