Voting was just as difficult this round as it was last time. I was spoilt for choice. Best Author and Best New Author were probably the hardest categories of all for me.
And a big thank you to Shug, mollyssister and anyone else I may be shamefully unaware of involved in managing the awards. This has been a great round, and you did a wonderful job, despite the demands of real life. You make these awards an interactive process, asking for opinions on how things should be done. That makes the process friendly, fair and as transparent as possible. Thank you!
