And as we progress into the first day of polling, it appears that Doraemon is in the lead, with A Sign of Affection close behind! However, there is still hope for the others, as they are not too far. What will happen next? Don’t forget to tune into the (A)BBC channel to see our live news coverage on this important poll!

Yes, I was wondering how you knew which books were leading in the post before the poll. :stuck_out_tongue:

I just happened to notice a correction is needed for Doraemon in the list of nominations just above the poll, in the WK post. The link to Natively needs to be corrected: the nomination is for a newer easier graded version of Doraemon (level 17), as it has better resolution and is easier for the ABBC level. The current list on the poll post links to the original series (currently level 20) and says level 22. Not a big deal, and it is correct on the nomination list on the Natively website.

And a word from our sponsor:

Oh, I didn’t realize there are different versions. I’ll correct it when I can (no access to Natively atm). That’s what I get for not reading the nomination post very carefully.

no worries! It is surprising that there are 2 editions. I put the link in my post just above, so when you get around to it you can just copy that one. Thanks!

And… breaking news! Day 2 of polling and Doraemon has been overtaken by… A Sign of Affection! Not only that, there are three other books that have tied with it! Once again, the others are not far behind — in fact, the current top pick is only 4% above the ones below it. But there are still 6 more days of polling… what will happen next?

I’m actually surprised Doraemon took the lead for a second, I always vote for it but it never wins! :cry:

Also, sorry @ChristopherFritz

I tried to save detective Milky from death being removed from the nomination list… I fear the patient can’t be revived.

The problem with these limited forum polls is always never enough options.
