We're down to the Final Four in HCC March Madness!
You have crowned champions in each bracket, now it's time to see how they fare against each other. Representing @HCCFrenzy is the heartbreaking classic, Charlotte's Web. Can it hold its' own against Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird? Little Princes by Conor Grennan emerged victorious in the non-fiction bracket and now faces off against Dennis Lehane's The Given Day. Which book do you think will win? It's time to decide!
Don't forget, you can vote every hour! And, once a day after voting, you can enter to win ALL 64 BOOKS in the tournament. That's quite the library! Along the way, we hope you'll take the chance to click on each book to read a sample. Perhaps you'll find a new favourite or be reminded why you fell for your beloved in the first place.
This year we've added a comments section on each brackets page so you can let us know how you think the tournament is going. And if that's not enough, find us on Twitter (and tweet #HCCMarchMadness) and Facebook and let us know which book you're championing this year.
