Please Note - Results should NOT be sent as a comment or they will not be accessed. It should be sent as a PM to this account.
Judging should begin immediately after books have been assigned to judges. Judges have two weeks before deadline. We would like to make this a quick award so there should be no delay in judging.
The winning book must have a detailed review.
Every review must have the area of strength of the book and the area of weakness. Please do not provide reviews like "nice book" or "I like this book".
Good Luck!
