Cunning Folk: Life in the Era of Practical Magic | Tabitha Stanmore

Stanmore couldn‘t have stood less of chance.

However, much as I loved Idle Grounds, Moominland knocked it out of the running on the left side of the board. AND, much as I loved Moominland, I expect my Wild Card to sideswipe it in the end.

The drama!!!

monalyisha *Technically,* Anne of Green Gables should‘ve won the spot this month. But it‘s a long-time favorite. If I include it, I know it‘ll cease being a competition. So, let‘s agree to ignore technicalities. I almost always do, anyway! 😜 2d

peanutnine I don't count rereads for my brackets, it feels like cheating and I want to see what new favorites I acquire! So I totally get you on that 2d

CSeydel @monalyisha @peanutnine Same!! 2d

monalyisha @peanutnine @CSeydel Glad we‘re in agreement about how to rebel! 😎 2d

The Sun Down Motel | Simone St. James

#ReadingBracket2025

Much thought was required here. It was a tough choice between The Book of Charlie and Demon Copperhead. And then another tough choice between The Sun Down Motel and The Book of Charlie, especially since there are such different books. But seeing as I wanted to call everyone I knew and shout from the rooftops to read The Sun Down Motel, it clearly deserves the 1/2 year top spot.

Mid-year #ReadingBracket2025

June's favourite was Heavenly Tyrant and the wild card was Guardian Volume 1

SVSSS 1 is still winning which I'm not surprised about

Words of Radiance | Brandon Sanderson

This month I managed to read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, 3 Camp Litsy books, the Belladonna series and STILL my favorite of the month is yet another Brandon Sanderson #CosmereBuddyRead book. I‘m obsessed. But Onyx Storm is still on its way to being my favorite of the year. If Sanderson begins to include dragons then Yarros might be in trouble. 🤣 #readingbracket2025

The House of Hades | Rick Riordan

As much as I loved The Sun and the Star, updating my #readingbracket2025 meant choosing between it and The House of Hades. THoH might have won simply because it has more characters and is longer, or some other emotional appeal. Either way, it was a very close decision.
