The 2018 Constant Reader Awards (CRAs) are continuing, with Round 2 polls opening each Tuesday and Thursday from March 13 until March 29. Each poll will be open for 7 days and close automatically. Then the OAG (Overall Average Grade, an average of all received grades) will be calculated and posted at the end of the poll and updated here as well. At the end, a sum of the Round 1 Final Average Score (FAS) and the OAG obtained in Round 2 will be used to determine each book's score going into the next round. The top 10 books (highlighted in green) will move on to the final Round 3, to begin on April 10.
As in the first round, the books in each group are not competing against one another, but are graded on their own merits. As far as the grading, please take a look at this (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?6740-Voting-in-Round-2-Please-Read) outdated but still mainly correct post from our inaugural CRAs. The gist is that you should only choose one option in each of the three grading areas, this is very important. Thank you!
