Sweet Sixteen – KC Library’s Booketology and HBP’s Tournament of Villains

Round 3 (Sweet Sixteen) - Polls Close Midnight, Sunday, March 25, 2012

Booketology Round 2 Results & Round 3 Bracket | Kansas City Public Library.

Oh, the agony … of defeat.  Last round, in the Science Fiction category, The Hunger Games bit the dust before the unstoppable Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  But at least my personal pick for all time greatest epic fantasy novel ever written didn’t fall to mere rabbits.  This round, however, The Lord of the Rings faces very stiff competition from that upstart Harry Potter.

And it remains a mystery (at least until Monday morning and the votes are tabulated), whether Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot will solve the Case of the Sweet Sixteen Surprise.

Cast your votes now and be entered in a drawing for a Booketology Prize Pack of one copy of each of the eight books that advance to the Elite 8 round, plus a basketball autographed by Kansas City author Whitney Terrell. (Click here for rules and details).
