Would totally dig this list! Themes about artists and artistry feels like a good shout given the judging panel. The Amma cover doesn’t look great on screen but is beauuuuutiful in person. P.S. I am scared of Praiseworthy.

[@kiranreader]

oohh!! ok thats good to hear re the Amma cover. i'm also scared about praiseworthy BUT i've only heard praiseworthy things about it! (see what i did there? lol)

[@GunpowderFictionPlot]

Love this long list, would love to see Kirsty Capes get longlisted!

[@kiranreader]

ooh! yes! that would be exciting!!

[@NerdyNurseReads]

I love your list!!!!!! So much Australia ❤❤❤ (i think our lists will be better than the Booker list)

[@kiranreader]

OUR LISTS DEF WILL BE!!!!!

[@kimswhims8435]

Praiseworthy for the win! (I'm saying that everywhere, lol). First time I've seen Evie Wyld's new one on a list, cool. It's on my TBR. Some very intersting books there, great list!

[@kiranreader]

[@charlottemolloy]

[@kiranreader]

Lovely video! Im currently reading James and it being top of the list makes me excited to continue. Definitely a lot of those books went immediately on my tbr (esp the extinction of irena rey!)

[@kiranreader]

i'm so happy you're currently reading james!! i hope you loved it!!!

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

Oooh a prediction video. So hard to make and so so fun! I’m off to explore some of these books!

[@kiranreader]

i know! its such a hard vid to make and i just knowwww i'm going to be so wrong lol

[@owencanread]

Excellent video, Kiran!! And a pass, ofc, great work. I would be v happy to see The Echoes on the longlist, I loved it so much. Less so Spoilt Creatures because I DNF’ed it but maybe that’s Booker’s vibe

[@kiranreader]

I'M SO PLEASED YOU LIKED THE VIDEO. MAYBE IT NEEDS AN UPDATE THOUGH??? HMMMM????

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

[@kiranreader]

[@kiranreader]

AUSTRALIA FOR THE WIN

[@nathansnook]

"..this is a phenomenal cover! am i right? yeah, i am!" -- yes girl you are always right don't care much for booker, but i'm here for the theatrics! intrigued by The Echoes!

[@kiranreader]

I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[@ernestogiusti5802]

Not sure I would read 600 pages about australian donkeys

[@kiranreader]

i hear you! but all my friends say the writing is really strong! i'm starting the book now 🙈🙈

[@TwoForAFiver]
