Before we vote, we need a definition for Short Stories.

Is it a single short story or is it a collection of short stories?
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 that's a third. I seconded it just four posts earlier.

1992 Morgan, Bernice - Random Passage

The August 2013 category selection will be similar to the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll except in case of a tie. If a second poll also results in a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.

* This thread will be open for 7 days or 7 fully seconded and thirded nominations, whichever comes first.
We have 7 fully nominated categories. Time for the vote.

And since we should have stopped at 7, 8 and above don't count.

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.

That should have read "21". The first post has now been edited. I need to edit the template to make sure that doesn't happen again.

And to help get to 21 and a vote, I'll third Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

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.
