Congrats to all the nominees. However, I thought Stacy Hawkins Adams should have been a nominee for Contemporary Romance Standalone for The Someday List (Revell). Perhaps Revell nominated her and she didn’t make the end cut, but still. This book sparked a movement last summer. What do you think? FYI: I was a Christy Awards Judge for four years
