Welcome to Out of Print’s second annual edition of Book Madness! Last year, over 41,000 votes were cast and you crowned To Kill a Mockingbird champion of the classics. This year we went current and focused on 21st-century fiction. The selection process was not easy and we know we left some deserving books on the bench. However, the best part about this for us each year is falling in love with so many new books that we can’t wait to add them to our bookshelf. So we hope you enjoy participating in Book Madness as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
