We had seven people voting in the first round! And the comments in that entry are now unscreened, so that everyone can see what all was voted for. And to also double check my tallying. *coughs, lol* I don't know about y'all, but a I had a tough time choosing!

We had one category get 7 votes, one got six votes, two got five votes, and we had 5 that tied at four votes (more on that later).

The top vote getters were:

Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Paranormal/Urban Fantasy/Supernatural - 7
Mystery/Crime - 6
Published the year you were born - 5
Children's or YA book - 5

The five categories that each had four votes were:

Non-Fiction
One Word Title
Diverse Reads
Recommended by a friend/family member/collegue
Fanfic of at least 100k words
( Here's how I chose two of those categories to advance, thanks to a random number generator )

That makes our final first round list look like this:

Second round voting post will open shortly! Thanks to everyone who voted in the first round!

As with the first round, please vote for 10 of the remaining categories. After a week or so, I'll tally the votes and the 6 categories that have the most votes will make it onto the card, the others will be placed back in the list for the next round of voting.

I'd like for us to choose six categories per week through the month of December.

First round results:
