What I have left to read for #Tournamentofbooks2017

JenP You should participate in the march madness challenge. 4 of the books are in the bracket 8y
Kristelh @JenP, I did vote on your March Madness but I am such a slow reader that I only made it through have the #2017ToB and it started today. I missed the first playoff. Sudden Death won and I read the other two. I own Sudden Death and will get to it sometime. 8y
JenP @Kristelh it is possible to do really well on the challenge of you happen to pick the right book. It's set up in a way that luck/strategy has more to do with it than fast reading. But I understand that it's a commitment that might not make sense if you are working on other challenge. I just mentioned it because quite a few on the bracket are ones oh plan to read anyway 😊 8y

Kristelh @JenP, I am struggling to get my current commitments done. I should look at it though. 8y
JenP @Kristelh no pressure. Tournament of books is a lot to get to. I will do that next year since I like many of the books on the list 8y
Kristelh @JenP, you start out by trying to guess which books will make the long list (and hopefully the short list this year so you can be ahead. I really like the list at http://www.themillions.com/2017/01/most-anticipated-the-great-2017-book-preview.... for trying to guess which ones to read for next year. I am think Lincoln in the Bardo will make it next year. So I need to read this years and start on next year. Makes it hard to keep up with 1001 book 8y
JenP @Kristelh yes, I follow the millions and follow there tournament of books, I just have never played along. I get tired after doing the Man Booker shadow panel and the Bailey's list. But maybe next year. Thanks! 8y
Kristelh So @JenP, you read that Sudden Death won and its about Tennis and we #infinitejestbuddyread should be reading that book 📚 8y
JenP @Kristelh yes! 8y

Such an interesting WWII story - I've never read a book that showed the soldiers' viewpoint so differently. I'm listening and hearing the phrase "my grandfather" every couple minutes is getting on my nerves. Part of the #2017ToB though, so I'll continue to listen till the end. #ToB

Spiderfelt I found the same thing irritating listening to the audiobook. If it's a fictionalized memoir, why not make up a name? 8y

It's a rainy dreary day and my boys and I are doing what we do best. 😂😍📚. Has anyone read this one? It's taken a turn for the weird but I'm pretty sucked in at the 60% mark. #2017ToB #ToB #currentlyreading #dogsoflitsy
