Alice and the Giant Bookshelf | Not Reading the Booker Prize Longlist 2023: Can I Resist the Hype or Am I Doomed? @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hi everyone,
Today I'm talking about the Booker Prize. The Longlist was announced today. I said I wouldn't be joining in, succumbing to hype or reading any of the books. Will I fall at the first hurdle? Am I interested in any of the 13 books? I'll be taking a brief and uninformed look at the longlist today and chatting about the state of my willpower vs my FOMO levels!
Let me know if you're interested in any of the books or tell me why I should read them in the comments. I'd love to hear what you think of the longlist and the prize in general.
I mentioned that I'd made a video last year on whether I get on well with Booker books, you can find it here: youtu.be/V5vSEN7CwgQ

Thanks for watching.
