Match 1, Octavian Nothing really long title vs. Chains. Winner: Octavian Nothing. I’m running out of things to say about this book. It must be amazing, if people keep effusing over it. Let’s see if I’m changing my mind about reading it…. um… Nope. Betcha it wins, though.
Match 2, Hunger Games vs. The Lincolns. Winner: Hunger Games. No surprise. Really. I enjoyed reading Chris Crutcher’s commentary, though.
The real question now is: will final judge Lois Lowry go for a huge, sprawling work of genius or a hip, intense dystopian novel? (Not even going to try to answer that. But it’s fun to think about it…)
The Book Nut 
Don’t read Octavian Nothing…that way you can be the only person who hasn’t read it, and I can be the only person who doesn’t like it. 😀

Softdrink — I’m not seriously thinking about it, though I do wonder what the big deal is whenever I see it at the library. That wondering hasn’t translated into bringing it home. So far.
