This is the yearly voting to re-order the books in the Nominations List.

Every member can vote for a maximum of five books in the list. It's enough if you give the numbers of the books for which you are voting. The books will be reordered according to the result of the voting. Tied books will appear in the final list in the same order in which they are listed below. Books with no votes will appear at the end of the list, also in their current order, so no books will be dropped from the Nominations List as a result of this vote.

The voting is now open and will remain open until approximately 5 pm Eastern Time this coming Saturday, November 19. Following which, the results and the new order of the nominated books will be posted.

A special request: Please do not change your vote. Once you have voted that should remain your vote. If you simply must change your vote, please add a new post explaining that you are changing your vote and specifying how. Mere edits may or may not be counted. In tallying the vote, the moderators will endeavor to imitate Florida and not Arizona.
