Play Book Tag discussion

Hi all,
I am hosting another March madness challenge on by blog this year and last year it did really year with quite a few PBT nominations and participants. I'll be reaching out in a week to ask people to vote on books.

Anyway if people would like to join you can read more here: https://thereadersroom.org/march-madn...

Grand prize is worth approximately $200 and open internationally.

If you want to play, you need to send me a book nomination ([email protected]) before March 5. This should be a TBR book published in the last two years. Be strategic since the person who nominates the winning book gets a prize. Others will be voting and ranking your book nomination.

By TBR book, do you mean we can only nominate a book we have not yet read? In your blog post you don't mention TBR.

I guess technically you can vote for a book you've read already but if you want to pick it to win, you'll need to reread it.

So the book with the most votes wins? So you have to be the one to nominate a book that you haven't read but everybody wants to read... about right?

No. It's more complicated than that. The full instructions are in the link. Books are paired with basketball teams and how the teams do determines which book wins. The voting is how I match them with teams. So higher ranked books get paired with higher ranked teams

Jen can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the book with the most votes gets paired with the number one seed in the basketball tournament. So if there is an early upset, it could be out early. Even the less popular books have a chance.

Got it, the March Madness Connection.... maybe i play from extremely high up in the stands... like read one of the books, maybe the one connected with our own Celtics?

March madness is college basketball tournament so no celtics but there will probably be at least one area team.

And you can read one book and still do well if that book also happens to be matched to a winning basketball team
