Booker Longlist Reaction & August Preview

[@sheltercoordinator8387]

I'm really interested in reading The Safekeep. A couple of the new books coming out in August also sound good. Thanks for sharing! And I hope you feel better. Summer colds are the worst!

I hope you like the Safekeep!

[@MattMilu]

[@brettsbookstack]

Thank you!

We Love The Nightlife is sending me early ‘80s Love at First Bite vibes.

@@hollyb118 ha ha i love that you referenced that!

[@MJ-in-Canada]

I’m sitting here hitting the refresh key, waiting for my library to load the new ebooks so I can read “The Wedding People.” I hope you feel better soon.

[@brettsbookstack]

Thnx so much!

My Friends is my favorite of the long listed books I’ve read so far.

[@brettsbookstack]

It’s a great book!

I liked the list - nothing on there really struck me as something I wouldn't consider or have a go at. Read My Friends already. Looking to read the Messud next, and then maybe Wild Houses, Safe Keep or Headshot. What other Irish titles/authors were you thinking of that you would have preferred? I've added Praiseworthy to be TBR as well as it seems to be getting mentioned a lot.

@@kaz_don_fan i liked the coast road more and whale fall.

[@kaz_don_fan]

@@brettsbookstack Wow - thanks these sounds great. Tempted to read Coast Road now before I get into the Booker titles!

The Booker list seems pretty vanilla to me, but I’m not a fan of the Booker in general. I already had four on my TBR and only added Held (from the library).

I’ll admit this list this year seems it. Also very American.
