July - Non-Fiction
August - Science-Fiction/Fantasy
September - Banned/Challenged
October - Free-For-All
November - Foreign
December - Short Stories
It's almost exactly the same as our current categories, except I've added Fantasy to Science-Fiction since there was no Fantasy, and I've replaced the MR Library with Free-For-All.

No. Science Fiction is not the same as Fantasy. So that list cannot happen. One other issue, second chance is best in December for all the books that came in second for 2015 up to December.
Foreign is no good. What's foreign to some is not to others. Being in the US,
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a foreign book. I recently read
Halting State by Charles Stross. I would call that a foreign book to those of us living anyplace outside of the UK.
Mystery and thriller can be so very different. Take a Hercule Poirot book vs any Jack Reacher book. No way are they even close to being in the same category.
Banned/challenged just brings up books that are mostly old and not very relevant and rather dull.
