March Literary Madness

March Literary Madness is an annual Waggoner event that features 16 beloved books – one of which readers will crown as this year’s champion.

Starting in March, readers will vote on match-ups to determine which books will advance to the next round.

There are 4 rounds, and one book will be announced as the champion. Prize winners for each round!

The best part? It's all determined by YOUR votes!

It's all good fun, so feel free to champion as many books as you'd like.
