Four men have done the improbable: predicted perfect March Madness brackets through to the Final Four. Each has chosen a different champion and receives a ticket to the final games to see who will win it all. But the tournament turns their lives upside down in ways they never could have predicted. Cole Kaman, a hapless receptionist in a dead-end job, fills out the bracket at random to impress a co-worker, only to attract the attention of a deranged serial arsonist. Perry Lynwood, a middle-aged gamer who spends his time as a warrior in a virtual city, becomes unhinged as events in the virtual world begin happening in reality. Neeson Faulkner, the ambitious founder of a green energy company, bets everything on the powerful software used to predict his bracket. And Tucker Barnes is a college student who just wants to watch a few games, but he can't seem to escape involvement in an international crisis on the other side of the world. These four men will collide against the backdrop of America's most exciting tournament in a story about genius, luck, ambition, and the unsettling truth that there is always a bigger game. Four men. Four perfect brackets. One tournament. Infinite possibilities.

Did a bit of catch up on my #readingbracket2024. Some surprises.

Was difficult to decide between Jul/Aug & Sept/Oct. I was surprised that the HP books were not higher.

CSeydel You‘ve got some good ones on there! 3w
melissajayne @CSeydel and multiple favs that didn‘t make it through. Thanks (edited) 3w

Devil May Lie by Chani Lynn Feener was definitely my fav from Sep! I think Madden and Berga take the top spot for my fav couple from this series.

Narrowing down July and Aug was tough though! I really did love Villain SO MUCH but The Bro Pact was THE PERFECT friends-to-lovers I've read in a long time so it edged out the top spot.

Side note: I hate the bracket I created for this year so I fiddled with last years bracket and decided to use it.

Meshell1313 You always make the best brackets!!! 😍 2mo
chasjjlee @Meshell1313 Thanks!! I really do enjoy creating them 💜! 2mo

Since 99% of my books finished for the year are Audiobooks...I made my bracket the perfect size for audio covers.😎

Leni and Matthew from “The Great Alone“ will forever be two of my all-time favorite characters.

Repost for @CSeydel

For 2024, I made myself a bracket with spaces for one bonus book each quarter. This serves not only to even up the matches by starting with 16 contenders instead of 12, but it also provides for months with more than one 4-5 star book. I decided to post it just in case anyone else feels the same way - help yourself! #readingbracket2024

bthegood thanks for sharing @CSeydel 🙂 11mo

I don't think I posted my March one, but my favourite for that month was Lessons in Chemistry.

For April, it was By the Shores of Silver Lake. Growing up, it wasn't my favourite, but reading it as an adult, I can appreciate it even more and understand the growing up that Laura had to do when her sister went blind. #2023readingbracket

Only read two books last month so it was a fairly easy choice. I really enjoyed The Lost Apothocary last month. #2023readingbracket

Couldn't tag, but the Alpha's Gamble is SECOND TO NONE. This is the 10th book in the Mismatched Mates series by Eliot Grayson and arguably my favorite of the series.

Like I said in my February post, it was insanely hard to pick a favorite this month but I mean I absolutely devoured this book. So, here it is, my pick for Feb and my pick between the 2 months. ❤️🐺

Here is my 2023 bracket so far. I think Lonesome Dove will go far. I loved it a lot. The 2023 bracket looks good @chasjjlee ! 🩷

Bklover I LOVE this book! It‘s probably my all time favorite. Sometimes I just want to go visit Gus for a while. They‘re friends now, and not many books affect me that way! 2y
Bookzombie @Bklover I feel the same way! 2y
Morr_Books @Bklover Oh Gus! One of the best characters ever written. 2y

Fella Enchanted was SUCH a refreshing read. I think I enjoyed every single bit of this book so of course it was my favorite for the month ❤️.

Something Like Summer was a close close second but honestly I just enjoyed reading about Peter and Breck so much I had to pick them 🥰.

Here is my 2022 Reading Bracket so far. In order for it to make sense for me graphically I added 4 Wildcard players. If a book lost their match, but it was still one of my overall favorites, they can move into a wildcard position.
I'm pretty sure I know how this will turn out, unless December blows me away.

marleed Oh, I love your wildcard option! 2y
actualdisneyprincess “Hench” was a RIOT. Loved it!!! 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @marleed I felt it was needed as I read so many good books in the first half of the year. 2y

I wish I had more space for this review! You don‘t have to be into March Madness to love this book. I know next to nothing about basketball, and I was sucked in. (Because it‘s not REALLY about basketball 🤫) Four men, four perfect brackets, one tournament, infinite possibilities....one awesome read! I‘m totally filling out a bracket next year! #readingwithmaja #localauthor
