SUMMARY:2026 Tournament of Titles
DESCRIPTION:Which book will take this year’s KPL crown as best-beloved?  Vote for your favorite every week and see who wins it all!  1st round of the bracket will open March 14th! \n\n\n\nTournament of Titles Nominees 2026 \n\n\n\nBroken Country by Clare Leslie Hall \n\n\n\nBeth and her gentle\, kind husband Frank are happily married\, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep\, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. \n\n\n\nOn the Hippie Trail by Rick Steves \n\n\n\nStow away with Rick Steves for a glimpse into the unforgettable moments\, misadventures\, and memories of his 1978 journey on the legendary Hippie Trail. \n\n\n\nSay You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez \n\n\n\nThere might be no such a thing as a perfect guy\, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes-all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediately yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like\, really wrong. \n\n\n\nDream State by Eric Puchner \n\n\n\nCece and Charlie are in love and a few weeks away from their summer wedding. But when Cece meets Charlie’s best friend from college\, Garrett\, her long-held expectations for her future begin to crumble. As Garrett’s gruff mask slips\, Cece begins to anticipate the big day with dread as her feelings for Garrett become impossible to bury. And as she decides to follow her instincts\, ditching her groom for his best man\, she will alter the three of their lives forever\, the events of that July reverberating through marriage\, parenthood\, and\, in the end\, across generations. \n\n\n\nThe Correspondent by Virginia Evans \n\n\n\nThroughout her life Sybil Van Antwerp has used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings around half past ten Sybil sits down to write letters — to her brother\, to her best friend\, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take\, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books\, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter. Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has. A mother\, grandmother\, wife\, divorcée\, distinguished lawyer\, she has lived a full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life\, she realizes the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness. \n\n\n\nGreat Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry \n\n\n\nAlice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years–or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress\, former tabloid princess\, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. Margaret invites both Alice and Hayden for a one-month trial period\, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story. \n\n\n\nDon’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell \n\n\n\n“Who are you? Who are you really?” Nick Radcliffe is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. He’s just what Nina Swann needed in her life after her husband’s unexpected death. But to Nina’s adult daughter\, Ash\, Nick seems too slick\, too polished\, too good to be true. Without telling her mother\, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling…  \n\n\n\nThe Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong \n\n\n\nOne late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness\, Connecticut\, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain\, ready to jump\, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina\, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia\, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options\, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year\, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond\, one built on empathy\, spiritual reckoning\, and heartbreak\, with the power to alter Hai’s relationship to himself\, his family\, and a community at the brink. \n\n\n\nAtmosphere : a Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid \n\n\n\nJoan burns to be one of the few people to go to space. Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980\, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center\, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights\, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light\, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. \n\n\n\nKatabasis by RF Kuang \n\n\n\nAlice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride\, her health\, her love life\, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge\, the greatest magician in the world. That is\, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell\, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams… Nor will the fact that her rival\, Peter Murdoch\, has come to the very same conclusion. With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them\, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells\, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything\, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like.  \n\n\n\nThree Days in June by Anne Tyler \n\n\n\nGail Baines is long divorced from her husband\, Max\, and not especially close to her grown daughter\, Debbie. Today is the day before Debbie’s wedding. To start\, Gail loses her job-or quits\, depending who you ask. Then\, Max arrives unannounced on Gail’s doorstep\, carrying a cat\, without a place to stay and without even a suit in which to walk their daughter down the aisle. But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband-to-be. It will not only throw the wedding itself into question but also send Gail back into her past and how her own relationship fell apart. \n\n\n\nCareless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams \n\n\n\nFrom trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes\, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands\, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite. \n\n\n\nNightshade by Michael Connelly \n\n\n\nLos Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been “exiled” to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island\, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory\, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found weighed down at the bottom of the harbor — a Jane Doe identifiable at first only by a streak of purple dye in her hair. At the same time\, a report of poaching on a protected reserve turns into a case fraught with violence and danger as Stilwell digs into the shady past of an island bigwig. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction\, Stilwell doggedly works both cases. Soon\, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city. \n\n\n\nThe Names by Florence Knapp \n\n\n\nIn the wake of an enormous\, history-making storm\, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter\, Maia\, to register her son’s birth. Her husband Gordon\, a local doctor\, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home\, intends for her to follow his family tradition going back generations\, and name the child Gordon. But on the journey there\, Cora wonders if it’s right to impose the burden of this name and its legacy onto her tiny newborn son. She herself has Julian in mind\, and Maia offers up her own suggestion: Bear. What follows are three alternate and alternating versions of both Cora’s life and her young son’s life shaped by her last-minute choice of name.  \n\n\n\nOne Golden Summer by Carley Fortune \n\n\n\nGood things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says\, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen — it’s where she took that photo\, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat\, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer\, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines\, letting other people shine. Lately\, though\, she’s been itching for something more\, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip\, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place. \n\n\n\nThe Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai \n\n\n\nWhen Sonia and Sunny first glimpse each other on an overnight train\, they are immediately captivated\, yet also embarrassed by the fact that their grandparents had once tried to matchmake them\, a clumsy meddling that only served to drive Sonia and Sunny apart. Sonia\, an aspiring novelist who recently completed her studies in the snowy mountains of Vermont\, has returned to her family in India\, fearing she is haunted by a dark spell cast by an artist to whom she had once turned for intimacy and inspiration. Sunny\, a struggling journalist resettled in New York City\, is attempting to flee his imperious mother and the violence of his warring clan. Uncertain of their future\, Sonia and Sunny embark on a search for happiness together as they confront the many alienations of our modern world.
