Bookworm Room

Voting every week at the Watcher’s Council is one of my more challenging tasks — something I say seriously, not facetiously. I’m constantly impressed by the high quality of the submissions, both on the Council and the non-Council side. It’s a very difficult from week to week to choose the two articles from each category that I think are the best. This week’s results don’t quite parallel the votes I submitted, but I completely agree with the outcomes:
