We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!

Just going to say....
I just finished The Freak Observer and I liked it.....a lot!
I'm glad that other people have agreed that there is something about this book...and now that it has moved so far I don't feel like an idiot for advancing it out of the first round (despite what Vanessa might think!).
Honestly part of the reason for my distaste it that I listened to this book and the narrator was horrific. I have listened to over 100 audiobooks and I know my narrators. It is a lesson for authors that they need to have someone read the book as they would. If that was case, and that is how the narrator wanted it read, then I am really disappointed.
As promised, we are no longer friends...as soon as we get back from Disney
