Looking forward to hearing how my group turned out and the overall results.

Same Ros. It’s always interesting to hear how 2 people judge the same list differently and have very relatable reasons for their choices

It is!

@@RunwrightReads absolutely Karen. This time two of my top three survived but my favourite Old God's Time went out. I guessed The Bee Sting would survive even though it wasn't for me. Now to watch some videos where people explain their reasons.

Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. But I'm glad you've found us. We just posted the Semifinals Announcement today.

The nonfiction field is so hard to judge because the books are so good. But the fiction choices, lots of surprises there. I'm very glad to have a ballot this round, looking forward to all the books.

It's always a welcome "problem" when the whole group is strong. Every round, those decisions get tougher, too.

I was looking forward to seeing these results. I judged Nonfiction Group D and my #2,3, and 4 made it through. While I'm disappointed that The Story of Art Without Men didn't get in there, the other three were all deserving books. Group B must have been really tough to judge. I've read 4 out of those 6 with a hold on another and two of the books that did not make it through earned 5 stars from me. I am happy with what did go through, but wow, that was a tough group and I can't wait to see the judge's rankings on those.

I haven't read them all yet, of course, but I'm already seeing some books eliminated that I thought would have made it through. But we all see them differently, which is part of the fun. Happy reading.

There were some unexpected winners. I like it.

So many close calls this round.

@BandysBooks 5 месяцев назад

Wow! This is fascinating! All of the books I read for my nonfiction round were good. Two of my picks made it through and one did not. Looking forward to reading some fiction for this round! Also, wanted to check. Now that results have been announced are we allowed to review the books we read for the octofinals?

@BookTubePrize 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely! If you check the Playlists on this channel, I try to pull in all the videos judges make after each round. A few of them are already published.

@@BookTubePrize Awesome! I will have mine up next week sometime.

@timetoread1795 5 месяцев назад

Well, I know I said I didn't hate any of my books...but annoyed Crossings made it through. Pretty boring, could have been an essay.

@BandysBooks 5 месяцев назад

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was in that same group. I loved invitation to a banquet and the Lumumba Plot, but found crossings very dry.

@margarethaines9310 5 месяцев назад

I beg to differ 🙂 Crossings was eye-opening and I enjoyed the feeling of traveling with the author!

@BookTubePrize 5 месяцев назад

@@margarethaines9310 One thing I've learned over these 5+ years with the prize is that every book in every group will be someone's favorite and someone else's least favorite. That's one reason I like having large judge panels so we come to more of a consensus set of rankings in the end. All part of the fun, for me anyway.
