Thank you all for filling out the form in time for the start of the quarterfinals. Today's match is the only one in which the #LitsyToB21 consists of the same contenders as the #ToB2. We are in agreement about the outcome too: Deacon is today's winner. I'm not too thrilled about that myself but 9 of us voted for it so I am a minority. See you on Monday!

I thought McBride created really memorable characters 3y
Megabooks I didn‘t particularly enjoy either, but I finished Memorial. 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for doing this Barbara! 💜 3y
sarahbarnes I voted for it having not read either one. 😂 3y

Kalalalatja I‘m glad DKK moved forward, it was the right book at the right time for me, so I can‘t help but root for it 🙌 3y
vivastory I'm in the minority as well. I have to say that I HATED the judge's decision. Not that DKK advanced, but the condescending tone of it. Bleh. What an ass. 3y
BarbaraBB @vivastory You and I had the exact same bracket in the opening round and again in the quarter finals (edited) 3y
vivastory @BarbaraBB Really? That's because we're awesome! 😉📚📚 3y
Readerann Happy with this one! 3y
Ruthiella DKK isn‘t my top favorite, but I actually would not mind if it won the tournament. I think that would make McBride the first two time winners, if it happens. 3y
Well-ReadNeck @vivastory Yes! I agree completely. What a jerk. 3y
Hooked_on_books I think both these books are good, so it was a slightly tougher judgment for me to make. I thought DKK was just brilliantly constructed and I really responded to it strongly, so it got my vote. I‘m happy to see it advance in both places! 3y
BkClubCare @vivastory - yea, as much as I wanted to admire the work and effort the judge obviously brought to the task, the whole vibe of it smacked of condescension. 3y
kwmg40 I loved DKK, so I'm glad it's advancing, but I agree with some of the comments here about the pompous and condescending judgement. 3y
emilyhaldi I‘m in the minority on this one 🙃 3y
BarbaraBB Just like me! @emilyhaldi (edited) 3y
KarenUK I loved Memorial too 💕 3y
KarenUK And I just read the judgment.... what a condescending d**k! 3y
BarbaraBB @KarenUK Right? It does feel unfair - especially since I loved Memorial! 3y
