Welcome back to March Gradness! The first round had some close calls and big upsets, and our Instagram voters overruled web voters by wide margins in several key matches: True Biz toppling The Marriage Plot, The Laughter overtaking The Human Stain, and The Book of Goose beating out Wonder Boys, to name a few.
Take a look at the updated bracket below to see where the match-ups stand.

Round Two starts now, beginning with the lefthand side of the bracket! Cast your votes below before Thursday, 3/27 at 11:45 am Eastern. Then stop by at the same time tomorrow to vote in Round Two (part two)!
