Book Bracket - Halfway Point

I thought it would be fun to make a book bracket this year, because apparently tracking every book I read isn't enough. I've been picking my favorite book read each month to fill out the first half, and here's how it looks:

Here are reviews for the books featured:

A New Day by Sue Mell

Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor

The Dollhouse Academy by Margarita Montimore

The Wedding People by Alison Espach

Magic Can’t Save Us: 18 Tales of Likely Failure by Josh Denslow

Skellig by David Almond

I have no clue who they'll go up against by the end of the year, but it's fun to see. Any predictions? Are you doing your own book bracket?

Magic Can’t Save Us: 18 Tales of Likely Failure by Josh Denslow

Magic Can’t Save Us: 18 Tales of Likely Failure by Josh Denslow

I reviewed Josh Denslow's latest collection for MicroLit Almanac - read it here!

In Magic Can’t Save Us: 18 Tales of Likely Failure, Josh Denslow delivers a sharp, genre-blurring short story collection that’s equal parts funny, heartbreaking, and weirdly tender. Through eighteen inventive tales, Denslow injects magical realism into the messy, intimate spaces of human relationships. He uses dragons, harpies, and zombie apocalypses not as escapes from emotional conflict, but as magnifying glasses that reveal what’s already broken or breaking.
