Well, I wasn't expecting that!

Leniverse I have very mixed feelings about this. 2w

BarbaraBB I am content. I haven‘t read the whole longlist but of this shortlist I have read five and really enjoyed four of those. 2w

charl08 @Leniverse me too! I loved

The Ministry of Time: A Novel

See All 10 Comments

charl08 @BarbaraBB interesting! Which was the one that you've not read yet? 2w

sarahbarnes Same - I‘ve read three. 2w

squirrelbrain Meh, I‘m a bit over the Fiction prize now - I didn‘t love the longlist anyway, and now this hasn‘t helped! 🤷‍♀️ 2w

charl08 @sarahbarnes will you read the others? 2w

charl08 @squirrelbrain ah well, there's always the Booker... 2w

sarahbarnes I‘m not sure…the challenge is they‘re often not at the library here and I don‘t feel invested in any of them enough to buy a copy….How about you? 2w

charl08 @sarahbarnes I'm guessing Fundamentally will come in at the library, as they've got a few copies stll on order (its a big group of libraries in my county). Not sure about the July or Wouden. 2w

Dream Hotel | Laila Lalami

I lifted @squirrelbrain 's graphic and added stickers for the ones I've read. I've got my fingers crossed for Ministry of Time and The Dream Hotel making the shortlist. Still hoping to read some more of the others: found it harder to get hold of all of them this year.

The Dream Hotel | Laila Lalami

This post contains spoilers

pick

This worried me so much I had to skip to the end to check she got out! (And then could finish the book.)

Ruthiella I do that with particularly intense books too! 😬 3w

squirrelbrain I did think at first the way she‘d got out was a bit of a let down. But then I changed my mind - insubordination works! 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures It was so tense! I rarely talk out loud to the characters, I definitely talked to Sara 😂 3w

tpixie Lovely photo! 3w

tpixie @ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain @Ruthiella Sounds intense 😬😬😬 3w

Good Girl: A Novel | Aria Aber

so-so

I usually enjoy books about wandering Berlin, but this one not so much.

A bildungsroman featuring a lot of drugs, bad sex and bad choices, I winced for the protagonist as she made one awful decision after another. Lots of interesting individual elements, but I never felt I really understood where the author was going (and in placed desperately just hoped it would all just Stop!)

squirrelbrain It was unremittingly bleak, I thought - too many drugs and bad decisions. 3w

charl08 @squirrelbrain so many bad decisions... 3w

By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land | Rebecca Nagle

I wrote this book because I believe the American public needs to understand that the legacy of colonization is not just a problem for Indigenous peoples, but a problem for our democracy.
