March Madness But With Books – Our #1 Book of 2024 REVEALED!!!
We each brought our top 12 books of the year (one from each month) and threw them into a head-to-head bracket battle to find the ultimate book of 2024. From emotional rollercoasters to epic fantasy, no genre is safe in this showdown. Which book will survive the final cut? Grab your TBR and join us to see which monthly favorites made it to the top!
