I gotta tell ya. The crazy way TypePad does comments now makes it harder to skim through them all to see what’s already been nominated. Complaints are pouring in about duplicate nominations, wasted nominations, etc. We hear you!
Has anyone compiled a list of what terrific books are still missing from our nominations? If you’ve posted a list on your blog, send me the link. We’ll start a "what’s missing" meme.
I haven’t nominated anything yet while I let everyone else get first pick. I — and doubtless many others — would be happy to help nominate deserving books that might get overlooked.
Send us URLs. Add it to the comments here or email me at anne (at) bookbuds (dot) net. I’ll update this post as links come in.

UPDATE: As promised, here are links to lists.
SECOND UPDATE: See additions to several categories, marked with *.
General
The Shady Glade has a few she’s surprised aren’t on the list. *Same with A Patchwork of Books.
Easy Readers
Many books still missing, says Cloudscome and Wizards Wireless.
Picture Books
*Mother Reader has a handful of omissions so far.
Non-fiction
Miss Rumphius has some suggestions for picture books, while The Well-Read Child mulls the mg/ya nominees still missing. *Miss Rumphius comes back for more.
Poetry
Cloudscome has her Poetry wish list, while Sylvia Vardell has a comprehensive overview of everything out there.
Science Fiction/Fantasy
Charlotte takes the opposite approach, listing what has been nominated. Looks like panelists have their work cut out for them.
Young Adult
Becky has her list up for YA books and is crossing out those that get nominated. *And the Ya Ya Yas have a few too.
