    Great list! I'd like Caledonian road to be on there because id love to read it! I've heard from Gunpowder Fiction & Plot that Praiseworthy definitely won't be on the list and that you're correct that Orbital will be there because some books on the list have been leaked already (apparently!)... We'll find out for sure tomorrow 🤞🏻😍

    Enjoyed Hard by a Great Forest, The Safekeep. Loved James.

    I hope there are many books I've never heard of on the list, which is the fun part of the Booker.

    Glorious Exploits is one of my favorite books of the year...I would love to see it on the list!

    As always, your content is top notch! I have seen most of these, and I own a few (have not read a few of them, yet!) I am most interested in:
    The Coast Road
    The Safekeep
    Caledonian Road
    Praiseworthy (What chunker)
    Glorious Exploits
    Thank you so much for showcasing these! You are the best! 📚

      @@brettsbookstack you bet! I truly look forward to your content each and every time! It seems we both have the same taste in the books that we read. You have DEFINITELY provided me some great reading material! If you like it, I will probably like it as well!

    I'm hoping to see James and Blackouts on the list. A lot of your choices are on my TBR so I hope some of those make it, too! I keep hearing about Praiseworthy but it's giving me big book trepidation.

    Just FYI, Caledonian has a hard C. It's a road in north London affectionately referred to as the Cally by locals.

    The Booker Prize....The most depressing Lit award! The winner is always sooooo sad! But that said..Of all your picks I have only read James. But I will ad one more that I think will be part of the long list. The Ministry of Time. Another great video!

    To me Praiseworthy is like the devil child of Ducks, Newburyport (like you said!) and Milkman. I absolutely loved it

    Praiseworthy is my pick. It's a glorious work. It is a book that can be read more than once

    What a fantastic list. Would love to see all these books on the Booker dozen. I've just bought Glorious Exploits as I've recently visited Syracuse in Sicily (when Mount Etna erupted 😮🌋) - it sounds like a hoot 😊

    I predict "James" to win but my fave is “The Coast Road” which I found out about thanks to your channel.😀I plan to read “Glorious Exploits” soon because who can resist a cover with googly eyes?👀

    If you can, listen to Glorious Exploits on audio as it’s written in Dublin dialect.
