Collection. "Stories" means more than one. If it were a single story, the category would be Short Story.

I'm dissapointed that I didn't get a collection of short stories on my reading list this year after having been through a few good ones last year.
There's always time to make some alterations to the reading list. |

I think the 7 fully nominated categories was a typo (like last month) and it should be 21 fully nominated categories to match previous months. I think we need some clarification on this.

Although I tend to agree with the person that said that any horror novel could pretty much fit under a classification of fantasy, I'll nominate Horror again.
Just to see if we can squeeze yet another category into the vote. |

1. I have a question for Sun Surfer: Does your Modern Lit nomination come with any requirements, restrictions, or specific definitions? In other words, what constitutes Modern Literature as far as your nomination?
2. I nominate Free-For-All |

Most (I've not read them all) Stephen King books would not fit under fantasy. There are a lot that don't fit.
