"Each committee member votes for three books, with four points assigned to first choice, three points to second choice, and two points to third choice."
Points get tallied, some books rise in points while others drop from the radar. I would like to do two rounds to arrive at our winner and honors. It's imperfect but we do our best.
So list your top three (and only three) books in order of importance and we will tally the points. Happy Voting!
