That's awesome! I've got many more to read, especially with a third division now.

Thank you, Robert! I’ve been following along with the BookTube Prize since the beginning, but this is my first time to be a judge. I’m judging non-fiction, section C, and my books are ordered! So happy to be participating this year!

For your passion and good, hard work - thank you, Robert. I'm delighted to be joining the ranks of the BTP judges. This year I wanted to read more nonfiction. And guess what? I'm going, too! Happy reading one and all.

That's my favorite part of the prize. It pushes me in new directions.

@woohoobooks28 2 года назад

Thank you so much for doing all of this, Robert! I’ve been following the prize for the last few years but this is my first time judging! And I lucked out with all my books being available at the library 🥳🥳🥳 can’t wait to get started!

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

That IS lucky. There's often long waits for new releases at my library.

@janepetrie1654 2 года назад

Thank you Robert, another great list to follow along with. I've read some, have some on my current tbr and will be adding more.

Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it, Jane.

I am so thrilled to be a judge this year and as luck has it I am currently half way through one of the books on my round so I've already begun. Listening to each of the lists, I really want to read everything in all of the three categories (not possible to do but some great titles in them).

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

Aww, go on. It's only 144 books. You can do it! 😂

@LiteraryGladiators 2 года назад

I saw the list and got my assignment! The order is in and should be on its way. I am looking forward to making my way back into the Booktube Prize and judging as many rounds as possible. All the best with this 4th prize! -Josh

@illustratorsam 2 года назад

Super excited! Just popping back in after getting my assignment-judging NF Group E-I’ve already got books reserved!

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

Good luck with the reserves!! The one downside with new books at the library is that everyone wants to read them now, too.

@illustratorsam 2 года назад

@@BookTubePrize I got lucky this round. Only one of the books is N/A from my library, but my bookstore has it. One book does have quite a waitlist, but there’s a large print version, so I’ll start there 😹

Yay! 🎉 So excited for this year. Although, I just checked my library and the struggle is going to be all too real for the books in my group. The holds area ridiculous. I’ve gotta some hunting to do!! Thanks once again, Robert. I look forward to this every year! 🥰

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

Does your library do Hoopla? No waiting lists if it's there. Also, same for Scribd, but that's $8 or $9 a month.

@bookswithb2684 2 года назад

@@BookTubePrize I’m not sure. Does Scrib’d have audiobooks?

My first time to judge as well. I am judging translated fiction and I am really excited about the books. I have group H and fortunately my library has 5 of the books. Off to the library asap.

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

@labben1697 2 года назад

So excited for the translated fiction groups. I’ll check which groups I’m most interested in and try to read from a few at least. Coincides perfectly with my goal of reading from as many different countries as I can manage this year. Will the judges’ videos appear on this channel, or be linked on the website?

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

I've added a playlist here on this channel. As I find each judge video, I'll add them to the playlist.

@CourtneyFerriter 2 года назад

Well, I'm still excited to see how the BTP progresses this year with three categories, but I am SOOOO disappointed that Louis Menand's The Free World didn't make the nonfiction octafinals list. It was far and away the best work of nonfiction I read last year.

@BookTubePrize 2 года назад

To be honest, I was very surprised as well. Thought it was going to be in for sure. I'm still looking forward to reading it, though.
