Book Wars

For one of our bucket list items we are doing "book wars." I saw the idea from a mom on Pinterest and knew that with the four bookworms that we have at our house it would be a great.  We took her idea and adapted it to make it our own.  We chose sixty four books that were new to us and created a bracket system.  Two books "battle" each other and the family votes on which book they enjoyed the most, that book moves on to the next bracket.

The books will continue to battle and move through the rounds until we get to the top two that will then face off for the title of "best book of the summer."

It has been a blast!!  Over anything else we have been doing with the kids, they have asked about this the most.  We are only two weeks into it and already have read a couple really awesome books.  We are having so much fun with it and the kids are asking every day if we can do more book battles.  Once the final book is left standing we told the kids we would go and purchase the book and that each kid will get to pick their favorite book from the list of 64 that they would like to buy.  I am really intrigued to see which book holds out until the end, there are some really good ones.  This is another summertime activity that is around to stay from now on for sure!!
