    This was very well edited! I am also happy to see the results to the octofinals, though the only book I have read from this list is How to Stand Up to a Dictator, which I borrowed from the library and enjoyed enough to see it advance to the quarterfinals. I got to meet Maria Ressa when she was inducted into her hometown's school district Hall of Fame (as in the town she grew up). Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to seeing how this prize progresses. I definitely want to check out the judges response videos! -Josh

    French Braid, Sea of Tranquility, and Booth got jipped! These 3 are much better than some of the strange choices picked.

    Disappointed that Dr No didn’t move on in the competition. I greatly enjoyed that one and I’m reading more of his books. Fading out into a shadow of the books not chosen is helpful as in the past I was always saying, “Wait, what?” and backtracking to check which books were rejected.

    • @BookTubePrize

      I haven't read Dr. No yet, but I loved his previous novel.

      I think 2 out of 3, especially in round 1 when it's a little more unpredictable, is pretty good. 🎉

    Sad that Dr No didn’t make the cut. 🙁 Perceval Everett is my new favorite author. He’s brilliant!

    Fiction Group A in the Quarterfinals is without a doubt the Group of Death. 😰😭

      It's getting competitive early on. But half of them advance, so even sneaking by in third is good enough. Clean slate for each new round.

    Genuinely surprised by some of these choices. Personally, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau was one of my most disappointing reads of 2022. 😥
