I am challenging myself to read all 16 titles BEFORE the battle begins on March 13th. There will be a pronouncement from some cool kid's book author-turned-judge EVERY DAY except weekends! You gotta be on your toes for this one!! The throw-down is fast and furious and the winner will be crowned on April 2nd. Make sure you bookmark the Battle Page and download The Brackets and visit the site each day. Soon we'll meet the judges but in the meantime, let's get reading!

As a proud member of The Nerdy Book Club, I've read 12 of these already!
BUT, I haven't read them in this order!! I'm going to read all of the books in the order listed (same as brackets) so I can do a comparison of each and try to guess the winner before the judges do! I've only got six weeks to get all the books, read them and write about them!! ACK!
The only thing left to decide is buy or borrow???

Ooh, what a fantastic challenge - the books that I have read on that list were really good. A Monster Calls is one of my favourites! I hope you enjoy reading them all! :)

I also forgot about this! Luckily I saw your tweet about BOB. I've read eight of the books so far,so I'm pretty proud of myself. Happy reading.
