July #ReadingBracket2025 Nonfiction update
Honestly neither of the books I read this month wowed me especially but this one was quirky and funny

July #ReadingBracket2025 romance update
This was a tough month to choose, as I read a few books by favorite authors that were all wonderful. I decided to go with You Had Me at Happy Hour because I loved the romance but also appreciated the way the two MCs disabilities were handled with compassion and care

BarkingMadRead Yayyyyyyy 2d
mcctrish It was so good! I‘m finding it hard to get into The Age of Innocence after Gaskell, she was ahead of her time 2d

July #ReadingBracket2025 Fiction update
The #CampLitsy25 selections for July hit it out of the park. Both Woodworking and Death of the Author were five star reads for me. Woodworking made just a little more of an impression on me, so it's my July pick, but DotA will most likely grab the bonus spot for the quarter

I‘ve read some great books so far this year! The tagged is in 1st place right now! I can‘t imagine that changing, but we will see!

Looking at my selections for the bracket, I‘m feeling pretty decently about my reading year. Who wants to be my #AuldLangSpine partner? Too soon? 😜

Death Valley handily stole the show in July. 🌵

CSeydel Shaping up very nicely! 4d
Christine I loved Death Valley! 4d

Marti_mph Loving your idea!!! How does it work? 3d
monalyisha @Marti_mph It‘s a template made by @CSeydel ! You pick your favorite read each month and plug it into the available spot. They face off against each other and at the end of the year, you have a winner! 3d

Uncultured: A Memoir | Daniella Mestyanek Young

I adored the tagged book. It‘s hard to read because of how horrific some of the abuse is, but she‘s a survivor and it shows in how she tells her story. She led me to The Power of Knitting, which made the list since I had nothing for June for this bracket, too.

This month I chose Faust! It was my first pick. My second for the month is The Satanic Verses and since I didn‘t have a book for June, Rushdie made it on the bracket, too.

CSeydel Very nice! 5d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads What are the directions for this? Thanks!! 😊 5d
GingerAntics What do you mean? You just pick your favourite book each month and add it to your bracket. I have a fiction bracket and a nonfiction bracket. I‘m not sure there are any hard and fast rules. @CSeydel has the black bracket. She‘ll be able to tell you if there are any hand and fast rules. 4d

CSeydel Hi @DrSabrinaMoldenReads ! The bracket is just a fun way to rank the books you read during the year. Each month you add your favorite book to that month‘s space in the bracket. Then the books on adjacent space “compete” - you decide which one you liked better, and it advances to the next round. There are two wild card spaces in round 2, to even up the matches. No rules, no prizes - whatever criteria you want, it‘s your bracket. 4d

I had to sleep overnight on making a decision, but I've chosen Brom's Slewfoot to move on over But Not Too Bold in my #readingbracket2025. It was a very difficult decision! But Not Too Bold holds a special place in my heart! #bookbracket2025#readingbracket #bookbracket
