OMG, I didn't know that Galbadon did a cookbook but as an 'everything' Outlander I gotta get it, even if I never make or eat haggis and neep. Ugh!

This looks like just as great a line up of books as the main competition! Can't wait to read all about them!

Ali, is there a good way to stay informed of the Community category posts like this one? They don't appear in the emails from Food52, so do ppl just keep checking the website? I can't remember to do this but would love to be more active.

Sorry, I mean the Community category of posts, not just the Piglet posts. So, for instance, how did people know to vote before this post? Do they just check under the Community tag when they visit the website?

Was there a community pick tester sign up this year?

Hi LucyS: We're doing things a little differently this year, since the community voters had such good thoughts on the books they nominated. The reviews will be made up of feedback compiled from the community voters. That said, if there's a book you're like to review (quickly!), email me: [email protected].

I'm sorry to hear about this change. I've been looking forward to that aspect all year, and despite following on social, somehow missed the voting post in early Dec. I always feel like I'm missing posts and contests on this site and not sure how to stay more involved. Love what you guys do, just wish I could figure out to stay more on top of things.

Also dissapointed with the change, and strongly agree that it's difficult to keep track of these things.

I too was looking forward to volunteering to review--I really enjoyed it last year. I also find it hard to figure out when piglet related things are happening. It would be so nice if there was a separate mailing list for piglet things you could sign up for so you don't miss it!
