Electric Lit is just $7,000 away from our year-end fundraising goal of $35,000! We need to hit this target to get us through the rest of 2025, and balance the budget for 2026. Please give today! DONATE NOW.
The competition this year is fierce! Out of all of the book cover brackets I’ve been part of, I’d never seen this many close calls and surprises. Extinction Capital of the World vs. The Intentions of Thunder were literally tied for web votes with 72 each—the latter ended up winning out, with 30 more votes on Instagram. Similarly, Lightbreakers and Guatemalan Rhapsody were also neck and neck, with Lightbreakers barely winning out on web votes.
This game of voting musical chairs continued as I tallied votes between the different platforms. From web votes, Hellions looked like the clear winner, with 50 more votes than Moderation, only for the latter to end up winning with more than double the votes on Instagram. Similar cases happened for Happiness & Love and Hardly Creatures, resulting in a cutthroat competition. Goes to show that voting matters—both on our website, and on our Instagram stories!
Check out the bracket below to see how the Round One matches shook out:
Round Two voting starts NOW. Make sure your favorite makes it to the end by voting below and on our Instagram stories before 10am Eastern tomorrow, December 10. Then stop by tomorrow to cast your votes in Round Three!
