2020 TOB Shortlist CONTEST

[Elizabeth]

Yay! Thanks, Bob.

I just picked Mary Toft up from my library this morning, I'd put it on hold but actually preordered it so also have it on Kindle. Now I see it on the shortlist I'm going to read the paper copy because NEW BOOK SMELL. (Opening it and sniffing was the first thing I did.)

[Jason]

Well, I got 12 of 18 right. My copy of Ducks is now a 4 lb doorstop. Looks like the play-in topic is speculative fiction or near future sci-fi which was way off from my guess, but all 3 of my play-in books made the list.

[Amy]

both Jason and C got 12/18 picks while Bob Lopez picked 11 right -- but all of Bob's correct picks were in the correct place (Bracket vs. Play-in) so he's our big winner by points!

I picked the correct play-in theme & 2/3 of the play-in selections but that's the peak of my predictive genius!

Thanks to everyone for playing! Bob I'll reach out to connect you with Andrew for some TOB swag!

[Jason]

Dang. I think that's the second time I came in second. Can't we do like the Booker/Nobel Prize for Lit/Turner Prize/Scripts spelling bee and call a tie? jk, congrats Bob.

[Janet]

Thankfully I’ve already read half the shortlist. Provided I can find all the others I should be a completist this year.

[Janet]

Yes congratulations Bob! Let us know what cool swag you get.

[Bob]

I think I'm happier about this than anything else I've ever won! LOL

I know! That's how I felt when I won. I was happy about it long after the Tournament was over.

[C]

Congrats Bob! I'm just happy to be that close at 12/18. I feel like I have *A* skill being so close two years in a row. :D

[Kristina]
