With the 1st overall pick of the draft, GirlySport's In-Box selects ......... in the Can Lit category.
And you can use a paragraph to state your case of why you made this selection and convince everyone why this book was great. You've seen how it's been done in the other drafts. We're all here to learn!
Author, title and year of first publication
Picture of cover (if available)
Then, whatever is interesting:
Synopsis of book

Ass-kickin'!: When it's your turn you have 24 hours to select. After 24 hours the draft will continue on until you come back and pick. Your name will have brackets around it in the thread title. If your turn is coming up and you are away, please send 3 choices to me and I will select for you.
- If you see a name in the thread title with a * beside it, that means they have submitted their pick to the commish.
That's pretty much it. Any questions you can ask in here or PM me...
