Tournament of Champions

These are (some) of the titles I‘m interested in from the #tob25 long list. The first three I already have checked out. The next one (Slime) I own and the next (Mood Swings) is available on hoopla on audio. The others I‘m on hold for or can easily get from the library.

Bookwormjillk I have Pink Slime out from the library now. I‘m glad it made the long list! 16h

mcctrish Where is the long list published? I can‘t seem to find it 14h

Ruthiella There were lots of great possibilities on the longlist IMO. I‘m particularly keen to read

The Safekeep

13h

Chelsea.Poole @Bookwormjillk I thought about starting my copy, but I‘ve got several ahead of that. This time of year makes me feel overwhelmed and I start a bunch of books out of panic! Lol 12h

Chelsea.Poole @Ruthiella thanks for sharing the link for @mcctrish — did you find it, I hope? 12h

Chelsea.Poole @Ruthiella yes! That‘s one I‘ve had on my list for sometime. It‘s not at the library yet so I‘ll have to get that one ordered. I‘ve seen good reviews on it. 12h

mcctrish Thank you, I found it ( no idea why I couldn‘t search it ?!) 12h

Chelsea.Poole @mcctrish I had trouble too! 11h

BarbaraBB I‘ve read The Safekeep, Wild Houses and In Ascension. All others I want to read too. ASAP. I recognize the panic feeling 😂 9h

sarahbarnes Lots of these are on my want to read list too! 30m

Megabooks Thanks for the heads up on Mood Swings! now

The #ToB25 long list is here. I‘ve read 18. The top are my favorites. The bottom row I‘m less enthusiastic about. Many more I hope to read and some new to me. I‘ll post next about the ones I‘m able to get ahold of/will prioritize before the shortlist.

BarbaraBB Thank you for all recommendations.So many of your favorites I still have to read. Looking forward to them 17h

BkClubCare 👏 “it‘s the most wonderful time of the year” 📚 🎶 17h

Lesliereadsalot So many good ones on there! 17h

JuniperWilde Did you like the Sally Rooney? 12h

thecheckoutstack I was a big fan of Margo‘s Got Money Troubles! 11h

Chelsea.Poole @BkClubCare heck yes, so fun! 11h

Chelsea.Poole @JuniperWilde yes, I really did. It was very much about grief. It really spoke to me in that way. (edited) 11h

Chelsea.Poole @thecheckoutstack me too! I‘ve recommended it to so many! I think it‘ll be one of my top reads this year. 11h

Chelsea.Poole @BarbaraBB I‘m excited about the long list this year. Plus—There‘s always some less well-known books that make it to the shortlist. Tricky trying to figure out which ones that‘ll be! 11h

sarahbarnes I loved the Rooney too, and Orbital and Blue Sisters are on my list. 28m

Megabooks Unsurprisingly, we‘ve read many of the same ones! 👯‍♀️ now

Working my way through the Tournament of Books finalists before games begin in March. #ToB #ToB20

Next up: Your House Will Pay

merelybookish Nice! Working my way through these myself. Currently on Overthrow 5y

BarbaraBB Me too. My next one will be Overthrow too @merelybookish 5y

Amiable Which one so far has been your favorite? 5y

Well-ReadNeck @Amiable oooh, tough call. Probably Lost Children Archive. I listened on audiobook and it was fab. 5y

thebluestocking I love seeing this! You‘ve read a ton. 💙 5y

I love the Tournament of Books. I love that someone before me had the idea to tag this book for a blurb about the ToB. And on this gray overcast day I love the mug that just arrived.

Graciouswarriorprincess Cool mug!! 5y

Suet624 @Graciouswarriorprincess It‘s so bright! A lovely thing to wake up with. 😀 5y

BarbaraBB Great great mug! I‘m afraid I won‘t have time to read all books but I‘ll follow your thoughts! 5y

The short list and zombie poll are out!!! https://themorningnews.org/article/the-2018-tournament-of-books-shortlist-and-ju...

I‘m excited about this year‘s list. I‘ve only read 5 of them so I have 13 to go! Time to get to the library. #TOB2018

Bloomingjen I don't understand the Zombie Poll. It includes all of the shortlist titles but I am supposed to vote to bring one back? What? 7y

mklong @Bloomingjen Yeah, it‘s kind weird. You vote for your favorite shortlisted title in the Zombie Poll. The winner gets to come back in the the Zombie round after it gets knocked out of the tournament. It will make more sense once the Tournament gets going. 7y

Bloomingjen oooohhh. thanks! i have psuedo followed this tourney in previous years but not that closely. I mostly just check out the books. 7y
