Great to see my top two from my first round ballot make it to the semi-finals! Wish I had the time to participate in the semis, but will have to hang on until the final.
I missed the live announcement, and unfortunately I will have to miss the semifinals too. I will try to read a few books to tag along. I am glad that my favorite from round one, Eve, is still in the running.
Now that I’ve watched the results twice I’m still in shock my number one “Crossings” by Ben Goldfarb didn’t make it. It was a stacked group and my other three top picks made it. On to the semifinals ❤
Wait until I post the results for the whole competition in October and you'll see how crazy close this group was. The closest result in our 6-year history.
The semi-final will be the first round I take part in. And this year it's very exciting because I don't know any of the books that are still in the running. It's going to be an exciting few weeks and I'm looking forward to some great reading experiences. 🤓📚
Oh I'm gutted that my favourite in Group C NF is out! That said, I lucked out with this group I thought all six of the books were no less than 4 stars.
Thank you for all of your hard work, Robert. We appreciate you!
☮️💙📚
Thank you so much, Laura!
I will be on a plane on my way to a lovely holiday. I'll have to wait in suspense until I find a WiFi spot at my destination.
Happy holiday, Ros!
Where are you off to? Have a lovely time. I think it's time for me to plan a trip somewhere!
Settled in Turkey now and excited by my semifinal group.
@@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 That sounds fabulous. Enjoy!
So exciting! Thanks, Robert! ❤🤩
You are so welcome!

Enjoy your round off. August will be here before we know it.
Yay, I'm in again for the semifinals! 🤩 And you guys managed to kick out every single book I had read so far, so it's six new books for me! 😅
It's all a plot to keep you out of trouble. 😉
I'm in for nonfiction this time so a totally new set of books for me! About to start the first one on audio and do some chores. -Becks
When you take on both divisions, we put you to work more often! Enjoy.
The semis are looking intense! Fiction B has three of my top reads from the previous year! And NF A... Whoa!
Yes, at this point, it just keeps getting harder to make distinctions among them.

No worries! You can jump back in for the finals, if you like.
But when is the Finals announcement? Oh the suspense.
Just saw this and got nervous I uploaded the wrong video. 😂
@@BookTubePrize sorry to give you a fright!
Thanks Robert
My pleasure, Sharon!

Crossings was in my top 3 too. I found it fascinating. Doppelgänger wasn’t as griping to me.
