Published December 5, 2022 at 4:37 pm
Burlington Public Library is holding its 2022 Hidden Gems Book Tournament.
Sixteen books will compete, but there will be only one winner in this fun event designed to highlight lesser known, but still excellent, works of literature you might have overlooked.
Every day from Dec. 5 to 19, the library will post two book pitches on their Instagram and Twitter pages.
Watch the short videos and vote using the poll feature. You can vote yes for one, both, or neither book. The book with more “Yes” votes each day goes on to the next round. This will be repeated until there is only one book left, the Hidden Gems 2022 winner.
Here are the books that will be vying for your vote:
- Hope and Glory by Jendella Benson
- The Long Weekend by Gilly MacMillan
- Mika in Real Life by Emiko Jean
- The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson
- The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy
- Lease on Love by Fallon Ballard
- Hide by Kiersten White
