For Fiction I have read The Covenant of Water, The Bee Sting, The Rachel Incident, Enter Ghost, and the Reformatory. The advancing books are well chosen! I have Northwoods on my Libby hold currently, but don’t have a desire to read Tom Lake or Wellness at this time
@Book_Hugger Ай бұрын
I have read several Non Fiction: Fever in the Heartland and How to Say Babylon. Both were very good. I am a Timothy Egan fan. We Were Once a Family is heartbreaking, but that author went so deep to research that tragedy. I want to read Eve

It's described a bit more more on the about page of the booktube prize website, but the short version is that at the beginning of the year a big list of eligible works is sent by Robert to the judges to vote on what they most think should go forward into the competition with no requirement for having read any yet at that point.
@BookTubePrize Ай бұрын
Becca covered most of it. During the year, I compile a list of some 100 books or so in each division, based on reviews from a wide variety of sources. That list goes to all of the judges in that division in January for their votes. The list is then trimmed to the 48 books that start the event in February. If you go to the results page on the website (booktubeprize.org), you can see all of the books we started with and at what stage they were eliminated.

I was looking forward to seeing these results. I judged Nonfiction Group D and my #2,3, and 4 made it through. While I'm disappointed that The Story of Art Without Men didn't get in there, the other three were all deserving books. Group B must have been really tough to judge. I've read 4 out of those 6 with a hold on another and two of the books that did not make it through earned 5 stars from me. I am happy with what did go through, but wow, that was a tough group and I can't wait to see the judge's rankings on those.

@@margarethaines9310 One thing I've learned over these 5+ years with the prize is that every book in every group will be someone's favorite and someone else's least favorite.
