So... would you like a bit of numbers? (remember I have an Economics degree...).

570 Books of which 107 go to Phase 3, more or less 20%.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 lasted 1 month, Phase 3 will last, more or less, 6 weeks. Due date for Phase 3: December 11.

64 Judges will read the books, more or less 5 books per judge (and BTW I'm not in the Jury, so don't worry if my English is not good...)



And now, do you want to know who made Phase 3? here are the links to the different posts:

Eliza, how can The Fifth House be a Fantasy Jury Choice and not have made it to Phase 3?

But IT'S in Phase 3. All the Jury's Choice Finalists are in Phase 3, only the Jury's Favorites and the Jury's Honorable Mention are not. Elisa

BIG THANK YOU
To both the publishers who donated the books and to the Jury to take the time to read and decide....

I DO NOT envy your job! There were so many well written, entertaining and for ever memerable books on this list - eh -gads! You all are a glutton for punishment!

May the Book gods smile down on you during your time of decision!
