Pre-Pre-Game Peanut Gallery

As a reminder, this is our weekly round-up of Battle posts. If we have overlooked yours, please let us know and we’ll add it in.
This is awesome — Eric Carpenter is running a Battle of the Books bracket contest!
Laura’s geeked up as she champions her favorite.
Sarah Wones Tomp highlights our contest in All’s Fair in Love (of books) and War.
Kim notes our contest in And in this Corner.
And Liz is gearing up to do posts on all the matches again. Yay!
Eva’s flummoxed (in a good way).
Judge Shannon Hale has made her decision, but is keeping her lips tightly sealed.
Pleased to meet you! (Actually, I admit, I already knew you, Cybils.) From Kara Schaff Dean, “Cybil, meet Bob.”

Looking at Shannon Hale’s post… is this to say that most of the 1st round matches have already been decided, and you all are just sitting on the results?! Shannon is a judge for the 2nd round, which doesn’t start for a good three weeks! Will there be early leaks? Please say yes!
Early leaks? Hmmm…. perhaps we can find a Deepthroat willing to spill all the beans….
Sam, no comment:)
And Liz and the rest of you, don’t you DARE go looking for any sort of Deepthroat or,for that matter, Shallowthroat.
I LOVE that you do the Peanut Gallery – so good to see what everyone’s saying.
And no leaks! I want to be surprised.
