Some of these books and authors may be new to you, but after reading my (Amy's) book descriptions and battle reviews, I hope some of them sparked your interest. Perhaps we introduced you to a few new books. Only one book can win each battle, and only one book can win the bracket, but there were many good books in the competition.
Battle of the Books match-ups are decided based on reading a sample of the book. Most upon reading a mere 25 pages or 50 pages. So if a good book starts slow, in this review format, it may face an uphill battle. These matches are inherently subjective. Battles were decided based on which book the reviewer, which for this bracket was me, Amy, would rather continue reading.
Stay tuned for Bracket One of Battle of the 2014 Books. We have another sixteen books lined up for the next competition. Aaron will be judging and reviewing our first bracket of 2014 books. We'll be announcing the books which will be featured contenders soon.
