What a great list! More for the reading pile. Congratulations to all of the nominees.
Maybe I misinterpreted this, but I believe the Macavity Awards started in 1987, and have been awarded annually since then.
Sorry, Sara, I misread the source material. Fixed now! Thanks!
I love to see new names, then I have new authors to read!
