March Gradness Day 5: Round 3
Cast your vote for the best campus novel of all time
Electric Lit is just $4,000 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.
Welcome to Day 5 of March Gradness! We’ve whittled it down to the Sweet Sixteen of campus novels. In the last round, Bunny and Disorientation swept the competition, while all of the others were nail-bitingly close races. The Book of Goose beat Real Life by a margin of 6 votes, and Trust Exercise was neck-and-neck with A Separate Peace on Instagram but took the lead by a wide margin with our web voters.
Check out the bracket below to see how the matches have shaken out so far.

Round 3 voting is now closed. Stop back Monday, 3/31 at 12 pm Eastern to vote in the quarter finals!
