INFO POST

Welcome to queereads-brackets, a tournament blog where queer books face-off by genre! May your to-read list expand to unwieldy levels

Full spreadsheet of all submitted books from all tournaments and bonus Storygraph challenge of submitted books

The current tournament is: Older Queer Works (vote in current polls here)

Past winners:

  • Monstrous Regiment by Terry Prachett
  • The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
  • Mrs. Victoria buys a Brothel by Talhí Briones

Tournament categories are:

Seeding: Seeding is done numerically. Books are ordered based on the number of people who’ve read them on Goodreads (as that’s the most easily accessed quantitative metric), and then seeded March-madness style (1-vs-32, 2-vs-31, etc)

Inspired by some other book poll blogs I really enjoy (check them out!) @haveyoureadthisqueerbook @haveyoureadthistransbook @queer-book-character-tournament @book–brackets
