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.

Cast your votes below on the round 3 match-ups by Saturday, 3/29 at 12 PM Eastern. We’ll take a voting break over the weekend, but stop back at 12 PM Eastern on Monday, 3/31 to vote in the quarter finals!
