Today Is Tuesday, March 25, 2025: This Is What Happened




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, 2, 3, 4]


Here's a more detailed explanation: [1, 2, 3, 4]

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.
