It does seem odd to me. A popular series seems more like something they'd have some kind of separate achievement award for or something. All the other finalists are part of a series too (not completed series, but...), but just the one book is what's up for the award.



On another note. I know there was some kind of controversy about Warbound/Larry Correia being nominated. Can someone remind me what the deal was?
