Last week‘s op shop scores. The P&O cards are so pretty my partner asked me not to send them to you Litsy Folk but save them to write to him. He even offered to buy them off me! He wishes I could turn my op shopping into a business. The burb cloth is for an old friend‘s new baby girl Juniper Mabel and the little bird is for my Xmas tree. So going to work in an op shop when I retire so I get first dibs on the books.

It's not a bad book for what it is, but this should never have made the #Booker longlist. The world is going nuts and there are tons of books out there telling relevant stories about our times, with urgent narrative voices and interesting aesthetic concepts - and the Booker judges nominate escapist entertainment with kitsch elements instead of #TimWinton or #TommyOrange. Very upsetting. #indiebuddyreads #manbooker2018 #mbp2018 #finestfiction

arubabookwoman I find that every year there‘s a book or two on the long list that raises this question. 6y

MeikeReads @arubabookwoman You're right!! I'm just so upset that they ignored literature from three continents and now feel all progressive and edgy for adding this! :-( 6y

Redwritinghood Oh no - we‘re not off to a good start. I hope the others are better. 6y

BarbaraBB Oh no - not again... each year there are some books that make me think WTF are they doing on the longlist... 6y

MeikeReads @Redwritinghood At least we have Kushner, Mad and Furious City and Powers! But still... 6y

MeikeReads @BarbaraBB Absolutely, but this is a particularly absurd case, unfortunately! 6y
