LiterarySecret

So I‘ve finished the shortlist….sort of 🙈I‘ve read 14, skipped 1 ( The Passenger) and bailed on 3!!!
From the 14 my favs are Babel, Dinosaur & Rabbit Hutch but honestly none of these books would make my yearly best list. I enjoyed other books on the long list MUCH MORE. Overall a disappointing rooster but I look forward to chatting with the tournament crew.

jlhammar Wow, impressive! 2y

squirrelbrain Great overview! I‘ll hopefully get to my last 2 soon and then I‘ll post mine… I agree, though, not many would make my best-of lists. 2y

Cinfhen I still have a bunch from the long list that I haven‘t read @squirrelbrain @jlhammar @Ruthiella @Megabooks but I probably won‘t attempt them. Thanks for the positive vibes xxx (edited) 2y

BarbaraBB Great overview! 2y

ImperfectCJ Nice wrap-up. I've been thinking of bailing on Seven Moons (the style is just not working for me), and knowing you dnfed it helps me feel less bad about contemplating setting it aside. I hate to end my shortlist reading with a bail, but it might come to that. 2y

Chelsea.Poole Good job! I still have 7 to go! 😬 I can‘t imagine I‘ll make it. Probably skipping moons and on the fence about The Passenger 2y

merelybookish Amazing! I have read 9 and plan to read 2-3 more. No way I'll read them all. 2y

Hooked_on_books My favorites are definitely different from yours, but I agree about this being a lackluster rooster year! 2y

sarahbarnes Nice work! I like your best of list, as it were. I agree that I would‘ve preferred a few off the longlist to be in the mix instead. Oh well, it will be fun! 2y

Cinfhen I LOVE your outlook @BkClubCare !!! I just feel life is short and there are plenty of books I WANT to read…. Im not gonna waste my time reading a book Im really not enjoying or struggling with @ImperfectCJ its not a job… I‘m #AllHailTheBail 🙌🏻❤️ 2y

Cinfhen Im curious to see what the panel makes of these books @Chelsea.Poole @merelybookish @Hooked_on_books @sarahbarnes but I will say I‘m shocked to see a YA fantasy on my personal favorite list! This tournament does open my eyes to new authors and books I might not have chosen to read, so that‘s definitely a win 🏆 2y

BarbaraBB With Babel among your favorites it‘s about time you start reading Harry Potter 😀 (if I remember well that you didn‘t yet 😉) 2y

Cinfhen You‘re right @BarbaraBB 🙈 I‘ve tried and I just can‘t get into it!!! It‘s my #LiterarySecret 2y

BarbaraBB Haha! I love that you didn‘t follow the crowd 💪🏽🧙‍♀️ 2y

Cinfhen I‘m just a #RebelReader @BarbaraBB ☺️😘 2y

batsy Super impressive! I'm in the midst of Babel now and liking it! Haven't read the other two of your faves 🙈 2y

Cinfhen Hopefully you‘ll get to them soon @batsy 😁 2y

sarahbarnes I‘m in the midst of Babel right now and liking it too @batsy @barbarabb. And I haven‘t read Harry Potter either! 🤫 2y

Cinfhen Woohoo 🥳 I‘m no longer the ONLY one to never read HP @sarahbarnes I feel so much better 😂 2y
