Great to hear your thoughts on the longlist!
❤❤❤
I also was hoping Caledonian Road on the list. It sounds like a moder Dickens book and I know I'd love that! Im also bummed that Praiseworthy didnt make it. I bought a copy and will be setting ut aside till after booker season.
Pumped to read My Friends, Wild Houses, Enlightenment and The Safekeep.
I wish Inhad time to read the full longlist and make a couple of videos. Its such good fun. Happy to be able to pop in the comments of the folks whonare still making them :)
Happy Booker season!
Rolling my eyes at Orbital and The Eventful History which both got meh reviews from some of my favorite booktubers.
I hope you get time to read at least a few of the books. I’m cautiously optimistic about the books, but time will tell.
Praiseworthy was one I was also surprised not to see because a lot of people had it on their predictions list. It’s so big though I’m OK with it not making the list.
The eye rolling statement made me laugh. Because yeah, I feel that hard about a couple.
I've started orbital, i think the writing is beautiful and definitely thought provoking. Whether it turns into a good story is another thing.
Good luck! I hope you love it.
Exciting! Best of luck with your choices. 🥰
Thank you! Having a great time so far.
i really liked the safe keep!! i hope you love it!!
Me too! I have high hopes.
Yay! I hope you end up enjoying them!
🤞 me too!
I'm one of the teensy minority who didn't think JAMES was great although I suspect it will win. My vote is for MY FRIENDS. I DNF 4 and am waiting for several.more from the library.
I’m with you on the vote for My Friends 💯. I haven’t been able to read James yet, but I cannot imagine it will be as good. I’m willing to be wrong, but it isn’t a book I’m super excited to get to.
So many books and so little time. Best wishes.
Ain’t that the truth!
I can get most of the list from the library too, but I doubt I'll get them all before the winner is announced. So I guess I'll read them in the order that they come in and when the short list is announced I'll probably skip anything that I haven't read yet that didn't make it. With the exception of My Friends. I'm reading that no matter what. I have already read Orbital and James. I am least interested in Held and This Strange Eventful History, so I hope they aren't shortlisted 😅 I have both There There and Wandering Stars, but haven't read them yet 😣Poorly planned by me 😂
Libraries are the best! I’m doing the same thing, there are a couple I, not sure I’ll be getting anytime soon but will read what I can when I can. Good luck with your reading! Hopefully a few of them are spectacular.
@@hopefullyherereading I hope so too! Nothing on last year's list blew me away (but I only read half)
James was great, but i thought the ending was rushed
I’m hoping I make it to the end. I’m sure it’ll be great once I pick it up.
I really hope that when you get to James it changes your mind 😂
Oh, me too! I do not want to be out of the loop in the hype of this one.
