    Thank your for sharing this...I had never heard of this award before and I'll be adding some of these titles to my TBR.

    Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on all of these, Bob. I'm most excited to read Birnam Wood, Bournville, and The Story of the Forest. I've actually just picked up the first two from my library today ☺

    Some great sounding books here - don`t know where to start , but maybe Birnam Wood as it sounds intriguing, thanks for inspiring reviews!

    I’ve only read two on the list
    Demon Copperhead
    Birnam Wood
    Loved them both. If anyone has read Birnam Wood , I highly recommend
    Deluge by Stephen Markley
    Several books on the list I want to read before the winner is announced.
    Thank you for this Bob

    Currently reading Linda Grant's book. I too liked After Sappho. Wasn't too keen and dnf Tom Crewe. Demon Copperhead will be on all lists. Will be interesting to see what wins ❤

      Ah totally fair, and glad you liked the others! And delighted that Demon is getting all the love!

    No such a thing as an English citizen. I found the New Life slow but good. Barbara Kingsolver's book is brilliant. Thanks...

      Aha yes! And definitely! So glad to see love for The New Life and Demon!

    I wonder from the title of some of the books,
    for example,
    "Does Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane?"
    "How are the Cadburys connected to Bournville?"
    Perhaps I should read them to find out LOL
