I think I see what happened. The top five books that went on to the poll each had 3 or more people nominating or seconding the book.

Christmas at Thompson Hall and Other Christmas Stories by Anthony Trollope, 1861, 82 pages
A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov, 1839, 185 pages
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, 1678, 344 pages
The Getting of Wisdom by Henry Handel Richardson, 1910, 282 pages
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, 1912, 186 pages
____________________________________________________

Then there were four books that had 2 people each. Nine books would be too many for the poll. So the cut-off point was made after five books.


The Dance of Death
Aik, Cynda

The Jew of Malta
Cynda, Sam

The Tempest
Janelle, Piyangie

Poor Folk by Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1846, 167 pages
J_Blueflower, Jeri

Sorry to be late commenting here, JB. Lynn was right on why the nomination did not make the poll. I hate when the votes end up tight. Like Lynn, I appreciate your steady participation.
