Wow well done! Pretty accurate predictions! I’m glad the Maiden wasn’t on the short list but other than that I can’t judge. At least you can stop reading the long list now. You did it! ❤
This prize has definitely made me feel more up to date with literaey fiction, too. I normally read around 10, but once I'm done the shortlist it will be 12. (I might also pick up Hangman). You were really good with your predictions.
