Very interesting! I'd love to hear more booktubers getting into this discussion. I think sci fi/fantasy should absolutely be considered for the Booker or other prize lists.
@@ariannefowler455 definitely! Especially since they clearly already are awarding fantasy/sci-fi books with the Booker, it would be nice for them just to do so openly.
I have definitely seen the bookish snobbery when it comes to fantasy and sci-fi, and I've also seen the fantasy and sci-fi readers then turn their noses up at romance and I just wish we could respect all good literature in the bookish space regardless of genre!
