Here are all the books I own from the #marchmadnesschallenge bracket. I have also read Hunger and Hate U Give but donated my copies to my LFL. Show us your stacks?
Challenge starts soon and the book bracket is done. Now we are waiting for selection Sunday to see how basketball teams are ranked so we can pair them up.

swishandflick Great stack! 6y
BookwormM Now I have to work out how to do brackets 🤣🤣 6y
JenP @BookwormM 😂. I‘m working on an instruction sheet. And since you‘re probably not familiar with US men‘s basketball, I recommend you just pick based on a combination of what you want to read and rankings — don‘t pick a #16 seed to beat a #1 even if you love the #16 book. 6y

sprainedbrain I‘m going to have to start figuring out some substitutions! Are there not going to be books assigned to the 16 seeds? 6y
JenP @sprainedbrain yes, the winners of the first four games. March 11 they announce all teams. Bottom 8 teams have to play each other to earn number 16 seeds. So each of those spots will be determined by the outcome of those games March 13-14. 6y
JenP @sprainedbrain but those seeds will come from the bottom ranked 8 books 6y
sprainedbrain @JenP got it, thanks! 6y
JenP @sprainedbrain if you look st the bracket those eight books are the ones in the middle at the top of the bracket. When the outcomes are decided, I‘ll add the winners to the brackets 6y
RebelReader I‘m not trying to tell you what to do. I just want you to know a 16 seed has never beaten a 1 seed so it might be best to put the least voted for in the 16 seeds as they will most likely be out in the 1st round. However, there is a 1st time for everything! 🤪 I love #Marchmadness! #BasketballRules #buckethead #MichiganStateSpartans 6y
JenP @RebelReader that is what I‘m doing. The bottom 8 books will battle it out to earn the last spot. If you see the blog post, I tell people not to pick #16 to win. 😂. There are 68 teams so 4 books/teams will be eliminated before March 15 6y
JenP @RebelReader just like NCAA tourney, there will be a “first four” between the bottom 8 books 6y
RebelReader @JenP I love the “first four”. I can‘t wait to see the brackets. Until then I will be choosing my team brackets. (Yes I have more than one and yes I‘m a basketball nerd too, but a book nerd first and foremost.) 😃😃 6y
JenP @RebelReader I usually do a few brackets too although I‘m not a huge basketball person 😂. 6y
emilyhaldi I love March Madness brackets so I just might have to join you!! 6y
JenP @emilyhaldi would love you to join even if you only pick based on basketball teams. Then you can decide if you want to read the corresponding books. 6y
