Hi all,

For some reason, many of you seemed to not receive this original message
from February 14th about the 2020 Nutmeg Lists so I'm sending it again.
Plus we have a couple updates!

Good News! * All titles have now been confirmed with the publishers.*  The
title on the Intermediate list that was tentative is now definitely on the
list.

*To see the lists:*
You'll need to fill out the form (link in original email below) and then
you'll get a link to the lists. You will not receive a separate email. This
link will have a text list *AND we now have the pdf color flyers available
which you can download. *

Thank you for your interest in the Nutmeg Book Award!

-Lisa
