Teams of 3-5 readers have the beginning of summer to carefully read a list of five titles\, then we gather in June for three rounds of trivia questions about the people\, places\, and plots of those books. \nHere’s how you can join: \n\nForm Your Team: Teams should be 3-5 people\, and all players must be 18+. Each team should identify a Team Captain\, who will be the main point of contact with the Library. Don’t forget to pick a name that will strike fear into the hearts of other readers!\nRegister for the Battle (below): Once you have your team\, your Captain should fill out our registration form below. Registration will remain open until Monday\, March 23\, 2026\, but we will close registration early if the event fills up\, which it has in all previous years. Be sure to register early!\nPrepare for the Battle: Get copies of the battle books (check the library for lots of copies in a variety of formats) and make a strategy (will everyone read all the books\, or will you split the list?)\nLet the Battle Begin: Arrive at your selected CLP location on the designated evening ready to compete! There will be three rounds of questions\, plus a bonus round.\n\nAll the questions will be taken from these five books*: \n\nAtmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid\nHow to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin\nPortrait of a Thief by Grace Li\nThe Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna\nWater Moon by Samantha Sotto\n\n*For full listing of all formats\, including audio and large print\, check the check out this Staff Picks booklist or visit the library catalog.
