The last “annual” award was given in late 2019. The lockdown and rollout were unsettling for everyone. I felt it keenly. After that, I was tapped to work full time as an editor for a political/health related publication. I was distracted. That’s not much of an excuse, but it’s the only one I’ve got.
I will be considering all the books that were nominated in the interim. I thank all the reviewers who kept the reviews coming while I slacked.
For more information about the award see this page.

Dactyl Review 
Your book review automatically nominates the author. I would like the author or his/her agent to contact Dactyl Review to accept the nomination, if possible. Only because it has been difficult to track down and award some authors in the past. Imagine that!
If not, though, I will try to get in touch with those authors whose nominated works make my short list.
Don’t anyone hold me to any time frame, by the way. I read slowly.
Hi, Victoria, To nominate a book/author, do I send you the title and name? Or does an existing review automatically put the book on consideration? Best, Vic
