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!

The History of Jane Doe vs. Obsessed
I wasn't a big fan of either of these two books for this round. However, having to choose one to move forward, my vote goes towards The History of Jane Doe. I was more interested in the storyline than I was with Obsessed. I felt that Obsessed kind of dragged on and I lost interest soon into the book. With that said, I do appreciate this author telling her story about dealing with mental illness. The thing that interested me about The History of Jane Doe was learning more about Jane and her story. I liked that it touched on teenagers dealing with mental illness but I found the teenagers' fascination with the town's history a bit unrealistic. My vote is for The History of Jane Doe.
