Never clicked on a video so fast. I was waiting for this and you did not disappoint. 😂😂 Personally, I love the shortlist. I’m one of those pretentious assholes who loved both Orbital and Held. 💁🏾♂️ But I was looking forward to your “meltdown” over seeing them both on the shortlist. Love your videos and content and rants. 🙏🏾
I've never fallen in love over the course of a RUclips video before!😂 So you don't have strong opinions then. Your reaction to orbital makes me want to have a look (but only if my library has it in!)
I have to agree with you about Wandering Stars, I have seen a lot of anti-colonialism book snubs lately. Being reminded of history starting with a boy surviving the Sand Creek Massacre. Native Authors do not whitewash history. Try reading the opening paragraph of First Nations, that describes the opposing view points of two Calvary soldiers who survive the battle at Wounded Knee, followed immediately of the oral tradition telling, and later written down version of the native viewpoint. Some other BookTube guy said that wandering stars should not even made the long list because it was both a prequel and a sequel to ‘There, There’ I would hope James would win, but I think they are going to give it to Orbital.
I paid almost thirty bucks for creation lake but I’ve heard so many different things about it don’t know when I’ll actually begin reading it. And how many books on the long list do u read?
I was rooting for My Friends and James to be on the shortlist with hopefully My Friends winning. Very disappointed to see My Friends not make it. I hope James wins of the books selected but personally don't care. Isn't James also going to win The Pulitzer probably? 🤭 Is it that good? It's very good but My Friends (currently rereading) is a better written work imo. After Maali Almeidaa (2022) neither International Booker nor Booker has really hit right for me. Time to scour the Nobel Bookies' list. Will Alan Moore win and be a no-show? 🤔 Kidding, Can Xue is leading, probably her.
It wasn't my least favourite but, im just sitting here thinking about how there are several pages toward the end of Orbital that just list countries and continents the astronauts are seeing.
So sorry for your loss, King. If it’s any consolation, it was very entertaining to watch.
Babe wake up thediscoking just dropped his booker prize list reaction

Meltdown 🤣🤣🤣
they got our asses with the held reveal 😭
When you thought Held was My Friends. 💀
The greatest reaction video ever!
The reaction I was waiting for!! 🤣🤣
Haven't read any of the books. None spoke to me. I am here for the show😁.
as orbital’s #1 hater i found this reaction very affirming thank you
Your reaction to Creation Lake was very similar to mine 😂
Some of this shortlist makes sense to me, but yeah, My Friends not being there is wild.
It’s been great watching you through this long list phase. Your reactions were priceless. Thanks for bringing fun to the Booker 🕺
I like your enthusiasm for the books you like and your reaction to the books you didn’t like. Keep it up.
When I saw this list announced, why did I say out loud "ohhhh he's going to be maaaad." The reaction to "Held" had me dying 😂
This is my "Nerd reacts to Marvel Phase 5 Lineup" It's brilliant.
I already knew it was Held and watching you think it was My Friends was like watching Hitchcock's bomb under the desk theory of suspense in action
Oh yeah, My Friends not getting on the list was a choice.
Thank you for your honest and hilarious reactions
Really interested on you talking about predictions for the Nobel!
The most entertaining reaction. 😅

I would hope James would win, but I think they are going to give it to Orbital.
This is my oscars lol but also watching u watching the oscars would be better than watching the oscars 🙏🏻
the reaction when your realize it's Held and not My friends the last nominee is hilarious
I was upset. You were hilarious.

Those presenters act like they're announcing the names of the future leaders of the modern world.
I'm now officially worried that Percival Everett is going to be the bridesmaid again.
Hahaha that is also my reaction about Held 😂
😂😂When Held gets announced 😂😂🤣 I honestly think Held will win🤢
Your reaction to "Held". 😂
I bet "James" won't be the winner. They won't pick the only male author out of these six. 😉
It wasn't my least favourite but, im just sitting here thinking about how there are several pages toward the end of Orbital that just list countries and continents the astronauts are seeing.
I knew your reaction was going to be gold.
Imagine if James doesn't win. I am so excited.
🙂🤔🙄😬🤯
*HOW* can you have this kind of reaction to _Orbital_ ??!! It's my *best* read of the year so far.
I felt that way for about the first 60 pages and then...they just kept orbiting 😂
Of all the shortlist, I really really really really do not like Held. REALLY! You hit the nail on the head - pretentious to the max.
terrible..booker is getting thin
Wait, what? Are you skipping the nobel for this shite?
