I started on mine today and I came back and it's gone.

Also something only needs to be nominated once.

I think we should have a category for best NA cover.

When you say something only needs to he nominated once, you mean in all the categories only one book/etc can be nominated only once?

Yeah, I'll add in the NA cover category

Like for example Best YA Paranormal/fantasy Winter only needs to be nominated once.

Although there's a problem with categorizing the books. Because I view The Lunar Chronicles is sci fi.
