The Long List (all the titles) will be added to the List of Literatae Long Lists. And be prepared to volunteer for our next round of meetings on Tuesday.

Women of Literatae, it's time to vote for our slate of upcoming books. I think we have a great list to choose from. Thank you to everyone who sent in titles! You make my job so easy!
Votes are due by online ballot by midnight on Friday, June 5.
The slide show of Fall 2026 Nominees is now available. See all the titles, book jackets, publisher summaries, comments from nominators, and Fayetteville Public Library, Washington County Library System, and online purchase availability. 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. (And this often happens!)
Happy voting!
Sarah
