The Great Classics Book-Off 2019! Round 1
It’s like March Madness, but for books!
I got the idea while looking up contests to do for the blog, and the one that I found from The Primary Punchbowl was perfect.
The idea-in the far, far future-is to do this with my novels to see which is the fan favorite. But before then, as I have no published books yet, I would have to go with books people know and have read.
I asked my followers over on Facebook what their all-time favorite novel was… and there was a great variety of answers!
The problem with those results is that I may have read or heard of most of them… but that’s because my list of followers is currently friends and family. I don’t know if they would have even heard of or have read the books if I were to put them in a bracket.
Instead, I decided on the Classics. I tried to choose a wide variety, in hopes that the ones voting on the Greatest Classic would have either read the book, seen the movie, or, at least, heard about the book enough to know what it is about.
So… should we try this, then?
This Great Classic Book-Off of 2019 contest will be in two parts:
The first part will be a weekly set of voting that begins on each Sunday of March, and ends on Friday.
Round 1 begins 3/3/19
Round 2 begins 3/10/19
Semifinals begin 3/17/19
Finals begin 3/24/19.
The second part of the contest will happen once the Great Classic Book-Off winner is announced on 3/31/19. Stay tuned for details!
Let me know your choices in the comments! Let the Great Classics Book-Off of 2019 begin!
