Can’t take your eyes off those those canucks for a second

Actually this is the first time I consciously limited my votes to just half. I hadn’t thought about it until it was mentioned last month, and it does force you to weigh the choices more carefully. I had to go back to the descriptions and reviews a few times to decide between a close tie.
A neat benefit to investing that time is that I decided to read some of the books soon, whether chosen or not, including one that didn’t make my final vote (the Russian Mystery).
