Before we get back to Canada and breaking down the U.K. I thought it would be fun to nominate, and read, from the Booker longlist. We usually end up with interesting reads so it should be a good one.

Everyone nominates (only) 3 books every book you choose gets one point. So the books that have the most nominations will go to poll.

Don't forget you have until the 7th to change your vote if you want to. The polls will start on the 8th and end on the 15th. You do not have to nominate three books, one or two is fine. If you want to write a small amount about your choices that's fine too. It's all up to you :)

If you don't have time to read any new books have a look through the link above and do me a favour: nominate some that you have already read:)

If you find any other links that are helpful please feel free to link them:)
