I've just reread the list for option G. I find I see a major issue there that needs to be sorted like now and not if it wins.

Foreign needs to go away. It's an unfair category. If you live in a non-English speaking country and a book written by someone in your country wins, that's not foreign. Foreign is unable to be fair to a global readership. There is no book written that's foreign to everyone who could possibly be participating. And it's highly unfair to make it just non-English. There are people might want to read something written in English as foreign.

Please remove Foreign as a category as it's one that cannot be fair and impartial. I know people have already voted on it as is, but if we leave it in, anyone elsee voting for it will think it's one of the categories on the vote when if it happens.
