Ben Reads Good | Booker Prize 2024 longlist reaction (...as predicted by the formula? 🧪) @benreadsgood | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
It's that time again! Very excited for this longlist, and the judges have recommended us some wonderful-sounding books.

Couple of video corrections:
1. Graphics for 'The Formula' accidentally use the Headshot cover where it should be The Safekeep.
2. The Booker Bigwigs are not all 'imprints of huge publishers', some are independent of the biggest publishers. They're actually just the most successful at getting on the Booker longlist over the last decade.
