Hello, and thank you for participating.  It's time to crown the favorite books on Litsy from 2022.  Below there are 20 categories.  Write in a Book Title and Author of a work that you think was the best book in that category from 2022.

Rules:
1.  For nominations you MUST HAVE READ THE BOOK!
2. The Book must have a copyright/publish date in 2022
3. The book must be in English.  If the book was published in another language prior to 2022, but is in English for the first time in 2022 that is acceptable.
4. Title must be in the Litsy Database by Dec 31, 2022.  On the desk top version, Littens can add a book to the database, or you can ask the host to add the book.  Please provide a Goodreads, Library Thing, or The Story Graph link to the request.
5. At least 3 people have to mark the book as "read" in the Litsy Database by December 31, 2022.  If one of those people is the author of the book, their "read" tag will NOT be counted.
      A. Authors can NOT nominate their own books.
6. Yes, the same book can fall into multiple categories as long as it is within the publishers suggested designations.   Any book the host feels have been placed in a "wrong" category, will be placed in it's correct location.
            i. Ex. no non-fiction books will be allowed in the horror category
      A. Kids and Teen books may fall in the general categories, but adult books can not fall in the kids categories.
            i. Ex: The Graveyard Book by Gaiman could fall in Fiction, Horror, YA, MG, Audiobook, and GN
      B. Kids and Teen books may fall in each other's categories as they can and are often read by many age groups.
            i. Ex. Percy Jackson could fall in Teen or MG
      C. Graphic Novels have their own category but can fall in any category in which they fit.
      D. Audiobooks have their own category but can fall into any category they fit.
7. Books ONLY available on specific platforms like Kindle, Audible, Nook, etc will ONLY be allowed in the platform category.
      A.  THIS MEANS IF A PUBLIC LIBRARY CAN NOT ADD THE BOOK TO THEIR COLLECTION, THAT TITLE CAN NOT BE NOMINATED IN ANY GENERAL CATEGORY!  (Blame Amazon and Macmillan Publishing for this!)
7. You do not need to suggest a book for every category.  Only the ones you wish to nominate.

Nominations will run through January 2, 2022, (to give those Holiday babies a chance).  After that they will be voted on by the Listy Public through another Google form.

Have fun, and lets see what we all like.
