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! 18h

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! 1d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads What are the directions for this? Thanks!! 😊 1d
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. 7h
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. 2h

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

My favorite read of July was Hungerstone by Kat Dunn—a feminist reimagining of Carmilla, the novella that inspired Dracula. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it couldn‘t top my May favorite, Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo. That means Not Too Bold advances in my 2025 book bracket competition!

I would not be 100% surprised if the two semi-finalists were The Devil and the Dark Water and Woodworking.

Catsandbooks Awesome! 👏🏼 🎉 3d

This month was really hard to pick. I also loved A Family Matter by Claire Lynch and Maggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar by Katie Yee.

#readingbracket2025 Going with the new VE Schwab book this month as my fav! So many good new releases this summer. Also, I cannot believe it is already August.

CSeydel Seems like it‘s flying by, doesn‘t it? Nice bracket! 5d
