the script which directed me to this poll, also deleted the post that I had written after I submitted it.

Why isn't at least one of my nominations up? And why has no one answered my post about December?

-- Updated December 15th, 2012, 2:05 pm to add the following --

I'm not voting. Please get rid of the re-direct. It's quite fascist.

Scott, did you even consider my nominations?

And, WHY WAS THERE NO BOOK FOR DECEMBER?

Your nominations will be posted in a poll for the February book of the month. They seem like interesting books. I didn't use them for this poll for January because I am already behind schedule so your books would get more attention with proper prep time, giving everyone enough time to get the book.

I have fallen behind on the book of the month program over the last 2 months due to personal issues -- some good, some bad -- which is why there was no vote or book for December and why the vote for the January book was late. I will work harder on keeping to the schedule in the future.

My apologies and thank you for your understanding!

Sorry I acted like such a jerk about it. Thanks for the update. I sincerely wish you good luck with your personal issues and wish you goodwill in general. Keeping my fingers crossed my personal issues don't prevent me from participating in February.

I’m really glad I have found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is really frustrating. A good blog with exciting content, that is what I need. Thank you for keeping this site, I will be visiting it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Estetik
