I think I voted correctly – hits head on desk; only chose one, which I think is inordinately cruel of you LOL

What about books released in december 2012?
We won’t vote for them, we had that round last year.
How long does it take for submitted books to show up? Maybe I did something wrong?
Working on that schedule now, by the weekend we are up-to date again. Iris
