I hadn‘t heard of this prize but I see some great books on this longlist. Now I am intrigued to learn more about the books I haven‘t heard of!

squirrelbrain I thought there were loads and loads of books but I see now they‘re repeated - still quite a long longlist though! 😜 You know I‘m going to check it out (and probably read them all) don‘t you?! 5d
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Especially now that it turns out not to be that long a list I am pretty sure you‘ll read them all 😂 5d
Liz_M 29 novels is not what I'd call “not that long a list“ 😋 I do love the CfF bookstore (edited) 5d

BarbaraBB @Liz_M Lol you‘re right, that‘s long. But based on the photo you‘d think at first glance that it‘s all those books. And there‘s a bookstore in NY? That must be a good one‘ 4d
Liz_M @BarbaraBB It is! @sarahbarnes visited recently and posted a picture from it. 4d
sarahbarnes Yes @Liz_M it was such a great store! I think you recommended it to me a couple of summers ago. I got the email about this list last night and was very intrigued! 4d
BarbaraBB @Liz_M @sarahbarnes Now I remember you both posting about it. I envy you 🤍 4d
Chelsea.Poole I was just looking at this list this morning! I am really intrigued by We Pretty Pieces of Flesh, seems like I keep seeing that book everywhere. Also PAN has a striking cover. 3d
