Oooh you're making me excited to keep going then!
Yeah I was gutted House of Doors didn’t make it. I thought If I Survive You was good just not great. I loved Study for Obedience and I didn’t like Cursed Bread 😂 The Beesting & Prophet Song were my faves. Hope you enjoy whatever books you get to.

Oh that's great about Study for Obedience - I need to give it a chance! And interesting to hear about the Bee Sting and Prophet Song - hadn't heard a lot about them!
Moral of the story is 1. Booker nominated books are not for everyone 2. name your child Paul if you want them to be a published author 😅 Hmm, interesting selection but none intriguing enough for my TBR, I’ll wait to see more reviews!
