It‘s that time of year, where I‘ve spent the last 6-8 months swearing I was going to take a break from the Booker Prize, only to get sucked in, watching all the Longlist prediction videos which makes my TBR grow massively, and I add August 1, the Longlist announcement date, to my calendar 🤦🏻♀️😂 I‘m hoping Demon Copperhead and Birnam Wood make it just so that makes 2 chunksters I don‘t have to read 🙃 Anyone else following? #bookerprize2023
squirrelbrain 🙋🏻♀️me! And there may be a spreadsheet involved, of predictions from various Booktubers…. 🤦♀️ 9mo
jlhammar I won‘t be able to help myself, I‘m sure 😂 I wouldn‘t mind seeing Demon and Birnam Wood on there. Can‘t wait to find out! 9mo
TheKidUpstairs I haven't watched any predictions, but have been eagerly awaiting the Longlist! 9mo

Megabooks Trying to stay away this year lol! 😂😂 9mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain ooo!! I love your spreadsheets!! 9mo
sarahbarnes I absolutely will be! It snuck up on me this year and I‘m very excited it‘s almost time for the longlist! 9mo
Ruthiella I used to follow it more closely. Now, for my sanity, I just try to read the winner. 😅 I do LOVE however, reading about/listening to other reader‘s‘ predictions and experience tackling the long and short lists. 👍 9mo
Deblovestoread Haven‘t paid attention to predictions but will definitely be checking out the long list on the 1st. 9mo
BarbaraBB Me! Counting the days until the 1st! And super happy that @squirrelbrain collected all predictions on her magic spreadsheet! 9mo
Lunakay I'm a big fan, I also give special attention to the International Booker 9mo
JamieArc @squirrelbrain Hello fellow spreadsheet nerd! I have a spreadsheet for once they are announced, and this year I added predictions I want to read. But now I‘ve forgotten which book tubers they came from so that‘s a good idea to track that! 9mo
JamieArc @Megabooks Good luck! I tried to stay away last year and was going to this year but once I started hearing predictions I couldn‘t resist! 9mo
squirrelbrain Ah, but do you have a pile of prediction books checked out from the library ‘just in case‘!? I‘m sure most of them will go back unread on Wednesday as most of the list will be books no-one has even heard of! 🤣 9mo
JamieArc @squirrelbrain No, no I do not! The month before the Longlist is announced I spend reading fast, light reads in preparation for the next 3 months of Booker books (which are usually NOT fast and light). 9mo
