Welcome back, Randy! The only one of these I’ve heard of from this list is James and it sounds really good. Hope you enjoy all the ones you end up getting to! 😊
@bookstalgic James seems to be getting universal praise. Having not read any of these, I don't know. But let's face it. Awards are mostly popularity contests, anyway.
Welcome back Randy so great to see you here - I'm looking forward to hearing more about what you think of the books. Nov 20th isn't very far away, good luck! Take care mate.
Hi Randy, You mentioned a blurb for “Martyr” from Tommy Orange but you didn’t recognize the name. He’s a Native American writer who recently published his second novel “Wandering Stars” which was good. His first novel “There There” was very very good. This is my first time watching your channel. Count me among your subscribed.
@@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p Thanks so much! I'm always excited to meet new subscribers. Thanks for the details; I tend to enjoy fiction from Native American authors, so maybe this can be a new obsession for me.
Glad to see you back doing what you so readily enjoy!
@michaelschramm1064 Thanks! We're still going to get that cup of coffee, too. I just don't know what the timing is like, for obvious reasons.
@@LiterateTexan Understand…and look forward to chatting in person again soon.
I now know more about the National Book Awards than I ever needed to because it's good to listen to you and have you back.
@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn Thanks, Jim -- I have diverse interests when it comes to my reading. It's so great to be back.
I'm looking forward to seeing lots of videos, Randy.
Good to see you back. I have heard of James but all the rest are new to me. None seem like a novel I would pick up on my own.
So glad you’re home, feeling better, and back to posting videos!
@gaildoughty6799 Thanks-- I'm glad, too.
Welcome back Randy! It’s good to have you back. Here’s to your good health and good reading. Take care.
@@lindaschwab8873 You're very kind. Thank you, Linda!
Nice to see you back here and to learn more about the award nominees.🎉
@@KathleenAnnBooks Thanks so much. It's great to be back!
Hey Randy. Great to see you back! Ive read two of those. James was great. All Fours was ... written and published.
@@JamesRuchala So, positive reviews for both!? It's good to be back. 😂
And he’s back! A good start to the weekend!
@@GenreBooks23 Heck yes! There have been some challenges already, but nothing we couldn't handle.
Glad to see you're back.

It’s so great to see you again that I watched a video about the National Book Award!
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 And it was way better than you expected, wasn't it? Thanks for the welcome back, Michael! 😂
Just found you, and I’m happy I did.
Great to see you reporting from home, Randy! Take care and hope you enjoy your reading!
@@jf8559 Thanks! According to my two roommates, Driftwood Ranch isn't the same without me.
Awww, I bet! You’re looking good so they’ll get to enjoy your company for a long while!

@@bookssongsandothermagic Thanks! Have you read any of these? Have v any of them made it to your TBR?
@@LiterateTexan No but I will be reading my first Percival Everett soon - Erasure. I want to get to it in November or December this year.
@@bookssongsandothermagic Uber heard good things.
@@LiterateTexan yeah absolutely - I can't wait to read his stuff.
Welcome back!
@@jamesholder13 Thanks, James!
Welcome back. Hope you are doing good
@@krzysamm7095 Improving every day.
James was awesome! I am glad to see you at home again. Drink and don’t overdo ❤
@@deborajohnson5717 I'm looking forward to that one. Thank you so much.
I adored _James_ and have read 3 other Everett novels, since 📚
@@bighardbooks770 All the more reason to look forward to this one!

@@binglamb2176 Thanks! Tell all your friends about me! Lol
Good to have you back
@@richardadcock5450 Thank you, kind sir. It's good to be back!
Great to see you back, be sure to let us know what your thoughts are on those.
@@pleasereadyourbook I will, for sure. I might take a look at some of the other categories besides fiction, too.
Seems kind of like a Diversity and Inclusion woke list to me, probably wouldnt read them myself but go for it and let us know lol!
@@ZkL92 I noticed that, too. I think this is the world we live in today, though.
