The International Booker Prize Shortlist has been announced today
I loved On the Calculation of Volume so very happy to see that on the list.
I‘ve read Perfection, liked but didn‘t love as everyone else
Just bought A Leopard-Skin Hat so hope I like that
I‘ve seen some great reviews for Small Boat so might want to give that a chance too
What do you think of the shortlist?
ChaoticMissAdventures I am going to read Big Bird this week, I feel generally overwhelmed by the prize lists so waiting to hear what others say, I know Leopard Hat has some mixed reviews but it is the other one I am most interested in. Sad Reservoir Bitches did not make it, I thought it was wonderful (but lots of trigger warnings) 1d
AnneCecilie @ChaoticMissAdventures I‘m sad about that too, I loved Reservoir Bitches. Leopard Hat seems to be about grieving a sister so thought I should give it a try. I also have There‘s a Monster Behind the Door waiting for me even if it didn‘t make the shortlist 1d
BarbaraBB I enjoyed both books you did as well. And I read Leopard, which was just okayish for me. I am now reading Big Bird and really want to read Small Boat too. I preordered it, it has not yet been published here. 1d
AnneCecilie @BarbaraBB Now that you mention it, I think I‘ve only seen Americans reviewing Small Boat (edited) 1d
