Yesterday. It was the 24th.
I was fantasizing about doing an BOOK
MADNESS.
Here is what A.I says about it.
A
"Book Madness bracket" is a
fun, bracket-style tournament where participants read and vote on
their favorite books, mirroring the format of the NCAA March Madness
basketball tournament, ultimately crowning a "champion"
book. [1,

Here's
a more detailed explanation: [1,

Inspired by March Madness:
The
concept is directly inspired by the popular NCAA basketball
tournament, where fans predict the winners of a bracketed
tournament.
Book Selection:
A
group of books (usually 16, for a "Sweet Sixteen" format)
are selected and placed into the bracket.
Voting:
Participants
read the books and vote for their favorite, with the winning book
advancing to the next round.
Bracket Progression:
The
bracket progresses through rounds (Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final
Four, Championship) until a single "champion" book
remains.
Promoting Reading:
The
goal is to encourage reading and spark discussions about books in a
fun and engaging way.
Example:
Brighter
Day Press has a bracket with 16 picture books for ages 5-10, where
participants can read the books and vote on their favorites.
Other examples
Out
of Print also has a book madness bracket.
Generative
AI is experimental.

See I'm an only child I'm use to play
two parts. At time I would set up the checkerboard and change
chairs. And move the pieces about. I send an link to our local
library. I know the cost of getting the same book could be costly.
Murphy and I dug up a fir tree, and
planted closer to the house. I've been going through coat and hall
closet. Got a few items to be taken to the thrift store. I'm planning
to work more on the coat closet tomorrow. If there time I will also
work on the hall closet. I have box of creative supplies. Today, I
also went though box of cards I have received over time. I been
cutting and put them in a right size photo sleeve. I want to either
get smaller size off box or possible box half the size I'm using now.
We also had lunch at the senior center.
Coffee is on. Editor Note....It would be hard to do adult related book in one month.
