It‘s here!! National Book Awards longlist week!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Today‘s lists are translated lit and young people‘s lit (you‘ll have to go their website for the latter, which I don‘t follow). I‘ve actually read 2 of these, the Kang and Hunchback, and the Balle and Barrera don‘t release until November, which is always frustrating. I am loving the cover of Sleep Phase and We Computers only has 3 ratings on Goodreads, so I love seeing it elevated here.
squirrelbrain Exciting! I‘ve only read the Kang. I thought I owned Perfection, but apparently not! 🤷♀️ Going out for a walk this morning before the weather turns to s*** for a couple of days 😬 so I‘ll have lots of van-time to explore the list later! 😜 1w
BarbaraBB Exciting! I read Perfection, Hunchback and On the Calculation of Volume III and have We do not Part and The Remembered Soldier on my shelves! I loved the ones I read and the Dutch author is very good so I have high hopes for her book! (edited) 1w
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB That‘s good to hear about the Dutch author! In past years, I‘ve often found this to be the most interesting of the lists, with books that I would not have found otherwise on it. 1w
