About the genres:
These categories are here to help organize the fun, not to put stories in a box forever. Genres were selected by the nominators and lightly reviewed by our team, but we haven’t read every book (we wish). If a story doesn’t fit the category perfectly, we’re still celebrating it. Please vote based on the book you read and loved, even if you’d shelve it somewhere slightly different.
