<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hello again. This is just a modest update with a few additions this time. The nomination period has come and gone,
so from here on out it will be me pleading with you to vote when the appropriate time arises. Remember that your nominations will not be counted as votes. Like last year, voting will be done electronically from the comfort of your mouse.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b>READ </b>(some of) <b>THESE BOOKS! </b>New recommendations are in red. Also included are the month and year of publication, author’s name, and the book’s genre. This year I’ve also included a “tags” field on the spreadsheet, in case a one word genre description
just doesn’t do it justice. I deleted the few titles that were in green (denoting them being outside the publication period of consideration), since they had already been up for a few updates. (YES, eagle eyes out there, this is regurgitated content from
Mr. Lutsock circa 2010!)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
