66 ballots received so far.

Another observation. Which isn't new news; you can deduce this from the statistics from past years (number of ballots, number of votes per category). Most ballots register votes for only one or two novels, and that's all (aside from survey answers). A minority, say one out of ten, or even fewer, submit votes in all five spaces for sf novel, all five for fantasy novel, all five for novella, etc. More like one out of twenty. Nearer the end I'll calculate actual statistics.

Another Locus Online special year-in-review piece, by Cynthia Ward, is in edit and will be posted shortly.
