BarbaraBB This is so awesome. I have to check out all of these! Thank you 🩷 1w

LeeRHarry Great list - stoked that This Motherless Land made it on there! 😊 1w

kspenmoll Oh Thank you!!!! 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @LeeRHarry I think it has a shot, I saw it on one other person's prediction list too. Have you read it? I haven't gotten to it yet. 1w

Chelsea.Poole Ooh! Nice list! I just checked out this one so I‘d be happy to see that make the cut

The Echoes: A novel

ChaoticMissAdventures @Chelsea.Poole this is one of the 2 I have read in my list! I didn't love The Echoes, but she does some interesting things with the ghost aspect and I know this prize loves some childhood trauma so I think it is a strong contender! 1w

Chelsea.Poole Which other have you read? I‘ve only read Whale Fall on your list but interested in several others.

Whale Fall

ChaoticMissAdventures @Chelsea.Poole I just read Shy Creatures and plan on reading Passiontide this week. Whale Fall sounds really good, something about the synopsis reminds me of

Clear: A Novel

Chelsea.Poole Yes, very much like Clear. And another one I loved

The Colony

AnneCecilie I would be very happy to see several of these on the list, like Shy Creatures, There are Rivers in the Sky, The Echoes and The Lost Love Song of Boysie Singh (edited) 7d

squirrelbrain I‘m keeping a spreadsheet of Booktubers‘ predictions so I‘ve added you to it, hope you don‘t mind! I can send it to you if you wish? 🤪 Great list, by the way! A fair few are in the top 16 on the s/s but a couple I hadn‘t even heard of. 7d

squirrelbrain Oh, and I‘m reading the ARC of We Pretty Pieces of Flesh right now. I‘m loving it. It‘s *very* Northern (British) though - even I struggled with the vernacular style at the start, and I‘m Northern, 🤪which is why it could make the list. 7d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain oh how interesting! Would love to see. So curious if the ones that keep popping up are ones picked. Each year I get 2-3 correct guesses which I feel pretty good about! 7d

squirrelbrain Let me have your email address and I‘ll send it to you. ☺️ 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain ShawnaMatthews@proton.me. Thank so much!! 6d

squirrelbrain There‘s at least another 3 Booktubers to add onto the list so I‘ll do that tomorrow and send it over to you then….bedtime here now. 🤪 😴 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain I really only follow 2 booktubers who are into the WP and very rude of me they are both men - Simon Savage and Erik Karl Anderson. So a lot of these will be a surprise for me! 6d
