August 2013's *Category* Nominations.
The August 2013 category selection will be similar to the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll except in case of a tie. If a second poll also results in a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.
* This thread will be open for 7 days or 21 fully seconded and thirded nominations, whichever comes first. * The poll will be up for 4 days. * Three votes or nominations per member. The story thus far: Quote:

I'll second lottery version 3.
I'll nominate books by Japanese authors, where the author must have been born in Japan. I'll also nominate books written between 1987 and 2002 (inclusive). That's right, the original (not re-release or re-publish, or new notes editions) must have been published between 1987 and 2002 inclusively. No 2003 books, no 1986 books. |
