It's Time to Vote!


Women of Literatae,

Thank you so much for getting your title recommendations in! We wound up with 14 titles this cycle, plus a choice to make for our July celebration of 40 years of Literatae.

Votes are due by online ballot by midnight on Friday, November 10 -- in just under a week. 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 slide show of Spring 2024 Nominees is now available. See all the titles, book jackets, publisher summaries, comments from nominators, and Fayetteville Public Library, Washington County Library System, 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 slideshow 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 five choices 1-5, with 1 being your top pick and 5 your bottom pick.

Online Ballot: Once you have decided on your five choices and ranked them 1-5, use this online ballot to vote. Remember that you will not rank titles other than the five 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.

Happy voting!
Sarah
