And if we really wanted every nomination to get into the vote why bother with the second/third process? We'd just add nominations to a voting list. The way it stands now the vote gets limited to books with at least some level of interest by 3 or more members, and I think that's a good thing (even when my nomination gets left behind as a result  ...  ). And we get to be polite about some nominations we really don't like: "sorry, I ran out of tickets", rather than "I might have 2 tickets left but I'm not going anywhere near that!"  |

That would be me, I'm pretty confident in saying. What's your guess as to why? My belief is simply that no one particularly likes the books I like. As I've said before, that's disappointing, but it's not frustrating. I believe my record would be even more abysmal but for some "pity" thirds for my nominations, just to add to the slate. Which seems kind of pointless; my ego isn't that fragile.
