#readingbracket #readingbracket25 #readingbracket2025 @Catsandbooks 😍

And even with different wild cards, it still won out, @TheBookHippie. #missionaccomplished 💙🤍♥️

ChaoticMissAdventures So glad! It is such an effort to get though! 23h
dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I feel like I climbed a high mountain, not Everest, though. That will be Proust if I'm able to get through him this year! 🤣 23h

Can you believe it, @TheBookHippie? Can you really? I'm a bit stunned if I do say so myself. Thank you for this monumental achievement--for me, anyway. 😘 Wonder if Proust will be the favorite next year? Somehow I doubt it, but we'll see. 🤣

TheBookHippie Honestly I‘m so happy for you. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 22h

CSeydel Thanks for posting both graphics! This way people can run category-specific “tournaments” - eg, nonfiction, genre books, memoirs, graphic novels, etc. 8h

Happy new year, everyone! I made a 2026 bracket template for those who would like one.

Each month, choose the best book you read that month and repost this graphic with your book added to the appropriate box. They will face off against each other until one is crowned the best book you read all year. There are also two “bonus” spaces to even up the matches!

rachelsbrittain Yay so excited to start a new year of this! 10h
Amiable @CSeydel In 2024 I posted my monthly brackets on Facebook for some friends who are readers to follow along. It was like a social media book club and prompted discussions and sharing. I didn‘t do it in 2025 because I lost motivation and enthusiasm due to current events 😖 and all of my friends clamored for me to post again this year because they missed it. So your brackets have a wide reach! 🙂 7h
CSeydel @Amiable oh wow!!!! I‘m delighted to hear that! 7h

Amiable Yay! Can you make another in a different color? I track fiction and NF separately. 😬 1d
CSeydel @Amiable Sure, let me see what I can do 1d
LeeRHarry Thank you for doing this again. 😊 Happy New Year! (edited) 1d

CSeydel @LeeRHarry Thanks for playing along! I love seeing everyone‘s choices each month. Happy new year to you as well! 1d
Soubhiville Oh two colors! I like this one better, but maybe I‘ll do as @Amiable is doing… 😁📚 1d
Amiable @Soubhiville I have to separate the genres —it‘s too hard for me to compare them equally. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😀 1d
GingerAntics Ooooooooh, I like this one even better!!! 1d
CSeydel @Soubhiville @GingerAntics Thanks! This was the original 2026 design, but I made a second color scheme for people like @amiable who do separate fiction and nonfiction brackets 1d
GingerAntics @CSeydel I was just thinking that. Having the two different colors would help keep them separate. Love that so much!!! 1d
CSeydel @Amiable I know what you mean - when I do a single bracket my nonfiction reads always win. But when I tried to do two brackets, I realized I don‘t read more than one NF per month - and sometimes it takes me a couple of months to read a really good one. 1d
dabbe Now officially on the new #LELH (#LitsyEventsLittleHelper) spreadsheet! Thanks for this; it's lovely! 🤩

I‘m not confident about many of the microdecisions I made in 2025‘s #ReadingBracket. Truth is, I had an INCREDIBLE reading year! A bunch of the match-ups could‘ve gone either way. I think I feel pretty confident about the WINNER (though I did read it a while ago now).

Best I can *confidently* do is a Top 7 (tagged below)!

•Giving Up the Ghost
•Journal of a Solitude
•Night Swimmers
•Sleep
•Death Valley
•The Ten Year Affair
•Moominland Midwinter

monalyisha @Cseydel Thank you for making the bracket! I‘m not sure if I‘ve mentioned it before but I‘ve loved tagging you every month and being put in mind of the seaside, or “Cseyde.” 😉🌊 1d
monalyisha @kspenmoll Her writing slayed me. 1d
CSeydel The seaside! I love it! And I‘ve enjoyed seeing your bracket take shape over the year. It‘s a fun exercise for me too in terms of letting go and just picking a winner, even knowing that it could easily go the other way. Top 7 is very reasonable! 1d

There are QUITE a few dirty books in this bracket!!! I even had to switch two books around (wild card vs Feb) just so that I could give all of the books a proper chance. This book was dirty (sooo dirty) but also really philosophical, so it appealed on so many levels. (I hope we get a book for the youngest Bell brother, too… just saying.)

GingerAntics Just realised that my top author of the year, Elira Firethorn, is not in this bracket at all!!! I have failed Oliver, Elliot, Rhett, Wren, Cora, Ezra, and Wilder!!! I have failed Elira Firethorn!!! 2d
