Zelma Woo hoo! My early prediction is Circe vs. There There in the finals with Circe winning. 6y

merelybookish OMG! Must look up immediately!! (I've been slack on my currents reads this year...) 6y
merelybookish @Zelma I think Circe was in the summer version and got knocked out. I think they only bring back the Summer champion which was![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The Friendmerelybookish Ooo I was wrong. The Census won in the summer and has the automatic spot. I see several books from the summer tob on here so maybe there will be some re-runs. @ZelmaCensus 6y
CensusAceOnRoam @Zelma I think There There has a very high chance. I loved Circe, but don't think it will be a winner. Not that I can ever predict these winners! 6y
Zelma @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @merelybookish @AceOnRoam I am just so excited to discussing TOB! 😃 6y
AceOnRoam @Zelma Hahaha me too!!!! 6y
batsy Totally failed with this and Booker reads this year and my #litsyclassics reading challenge... But I am always intrigued by ToB books... Maybe 2019 is my year of hardcore of Rooster reading? 😂 6y
Cinfhen It‘s such a diverse list, I love it @batsy @Zelma @AceOnRoam @merelybookish @BarbaraBB I forgot about the summer rooster 🐔 I was following for awhile but then real life got in the way. There‘s no way I can read this long list but I‘m gonna try to read the competition list. 6y
BarbaraBB @Zelma @AceOnRoam @merelybookish @Cinfhen I love the ToB. My favorite may beMy Year of Rest and Relaxation 6y
My Year of Rest and RelaxationCinfhen Still need to get to that one @BarbaraBB and this list is a real #TBRcrusher 6y
Cinfhen Oh, let‘s @shawnmooney ❣️❣️❣️ I‘ll let you offer some suggestions 😉 6y
merelybookish @BarbaraBB Ive only read 6 on the list but that's my favorite as well! @Cinfhen One strategy might be to eliminate authors who have been in TOB before e.g. Groff, Kingsglover, Atkinson. They typically don't pick previous contestants, although it has happened. 6y
Cinfhen I‘ve read 9 and I own 5 on the list, there‘s at least 10 more I‘d really like to read @merelybookish @BarbaraBB I would like to see Circe advance, American Marriage & The Immortalists 6y
BarbaraBB @merelybookish @Cinfhen I wasn‘t a fan of An American Marriage and The Immortalists. Circe, Yes! 6y
merelybookish @BarbaraBB I have a copy of Circe but the other two were so hyped...it made me resistant to reading them. 😬 6y
Cinfhen No, you have to read them @merelybookish but I get how the hype could have ruined them for you @BarbaraBB so go into the book with low expectations, Margot. 6y
L_auren So excited about the list!!! I‘ve read a dozen so I‘m rooting for Reat and Relaxation and for a Florida. My dark horse hopefuls are Laura & Emma and The Pisces. Can‘t wait for the shortlist to see what makes it!!! 6y
Reviewsbylola I thought the list looked great too. I‘ve got Ohio on my TBR. 6y
