SAL Bookaneers vote for Bone Gap to move on to the next round vs. Exit Point. Both books have strong messages and powerful storylines, and do a great job of using magical realism. It's difficult to compare the two because one is meant to be more accessible in its language, while the other has challenging prose. Overall, the feeling was that Bone Gap has more to offer as a possible victor in the tournament.
The Walking Read Forward The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. Although we loved Calvin, Indian was griping, possibly more appealing to a broader audience and episodic. It also offers a view into the FNMI world....we also love that it was the most banned book in the USA in 2014!
In the Nest vs Winger challenge the Bison Bibliophiles are choosing Winger. You just can't keep a good book down :-)
