December 1-December 21

Honorable Mention Titles

We will highlight one title each day as an honorable mention. Honorable mentions will have earned multiple nominations by ICPL staff, but didn’t quite rise to the highest ranking for their genre (check out the upcoming Staff Genre Lists for those staff favorites!).

December 22-30

Staff Genre Lists

One list will be shared each day, containing all nominated titles from one of the following categories: Children’s, Young Adult, Graphic Novels, Mystery, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance, Nonfiction, Biography/Memoir, and Fiction. Browse these lists to see recommended titles and to satiate your curiosity on which title received the greatest number of votes for that genre.
