Our first round of nominations on Heavy Medal is now closed. The results are below. No clear leaders at this point. With twenty-six readers submitting nominations, no book received more than eight. We also have several books with great potential that have just been published, so we’ll likely see more fall publications when we open up the second round of nominations on November 2nd.
