Judging the Booktube Prize: Round 1 Nonfiction Group F Bouquins & Books 2024-04-01 | The @BookTubePrize was created by Robert Sheard @Robert.Sheard.How the Booktube Prize worksThere are two divisions: fiction and nonfiction. Judges can volunteer in the fall for one or both divisions (I volunteer only for nonfiction).

The judges have six weeks to read and rank the books. The top three books from each group move on to the next round. Then the process is repeated for the second round, and the third round, until we have a final round of six books in each division. In this year's first round, I am judging nonfiction group F. The books are: 0:00 Intro and presentation of the books6:43 Sure, I'll Join Your Cult; Maria Bamford11:23 Eve; Cat Bohannon13:59 August Wilson; Patti Hartigan 16:54 The Exceptions; Kate Zernike22:53 Emperor of Rome; Mary Beard26:20 Wifedom; Anna Funder35:56 Ranking the books
