Behold the glory of the Yuletide tag set!
Diana Wynne Jones has swept the author category, with ten separate nominations for her works: Archer's Goon, Eight Days of Luke, Fire and Hemlock, Hexwood,, and the Chrestomanci, Dalemark, Derkholm, Howl, and Magids series, plus the short story "Nad and Dan and Quaffy."
Agatha Christie also makes a good showing with nominations for Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, and And Then There Were None.
At least two non-speaking, non-superintelligent, non-magical dog characters have been nominated, Towser from Biggles and Popchyk from Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch. I really hope we get at least one story each starring them. Or possibly a crossover in which they team up.
In the blast from the past book nominations, I see Cat in the Mirror by Mary Stolz (okay, that was me), Cynthia Voigt's Tillerman Chronicles and The Callender Papers, The Chalet School, Macdonald Hall by Gordon Korman, the Baby-Sitters Club, and Baby Island by Carol Ryrie Brink, which I have not read but I gather is about girls stranded on a desert island with lots of well-behaved babies.
In the movies category, I was particularly pleased to see nominations for RRR, Red Eye, and Repo Man.
The reliably fun Other Media section includes a nomination for Caitlin Dougherty in her Ask a Mortician YouTube - really curious about that one - the Museum of Jurassic Technology, and various stitches in Bookbinding Techniques.
What looks tempting or intriguing in the tag set? What do you hope gets written? What works had you never heard of before they appeared in the tag set but you now plan to check out?
