I haven’t read a single one! And I thought I’d read more new releases than normal this year!

I've only read one, on the Man Booker long list. I'm also surprised The Hate U Give didn't make the finals

I've read 5 of the last 6 Pulitzer Prize winners and I've only really liked one of them. My tastes and the "experts" tastes do not often align. Still, I enjoy looking at the lists and seeing how many I have read (not too many).

I loved The Poet X. Im bummed it's only in Poetry and not YA for the GR awards

The GoodReads Choice Awards have now been announced.

I've read more of the winners this year than any other. This group definitely helps keep me up to date.

Nadine wrote: "It's almost like these prize committees are making Lists of Books Nadine Won't Read.

I try, I really do, but whatever resonates with these prize committees is not what resonates with me."

Same here, actually. I've decided that Man Booker more often than not awards the unique idea, not writing or ultimate quality of the book. The National Book Awards actually chosen by committees of librarians that are members of the national association for librarians (whose name escapes me), and they have a huge list to read each year. I've known some of the librarians who serve on the Fiction Book Committee and the YA Book Committee and they were very dedicated and freely said that often their personal fave did not make it.

Ultimately you need to look at the committees choosing the books and who sits on them.

Here's that article in NYTimes I mentioned: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/08/re...

Oh! I was going to read The Night Watchman last year but my loan expired before I got to it. Now I definitely will. The Plague of Doves won a Pulitzer too and it was my favorite of her books that I've read, so far!

I think The Plague of Doves was just a finalist. One of my booktubers was just talking about that today. I don't remember if I have an audio copy of The Night Watchman or not. I think I do but it might just be on a wishlist?

Nobody ever really seems to talk about the categories other than fiction, so I keep forgetting they are a thing. But, I have 6 of them on my TBR! I clearly need to look up past lists.

Oh you are - of course - correct, it was just a finalist. I guess in my mind it SHOULD have won, and so that's how I remembered it!
