This list is more interesting to me than some recent longlists. I was actually looking at several of these before the list was announced.
Status as of 8/22 (will update as I read):
(*updates 9/9) (update $9/11)
read and liked - 3-$4
read and was lukewarm - 2
holds placed - 5 - *4
currently reading - *1 $0
currently unavailable - 1 * now on order in Encore System
decided not to read - 2
As of now (8/22) I can get all but one at my local libraries (and they will probably order it soon). Will one of the two that I have already decided not to read win it all? Or perhaps it will be one of the ones I'm lukewarm about?
Love Forms by Claire Adam -- read (8/2) but don't think it's prize caliber
The South by Tash Aw - read (7/21) liked it
Universality by Natasha Brown - read it (8/16), liked it
One Boat by Jonathan Buckley - hold placed
Flashlight by Susan Choi - ("in transit" for me) picked up 9/3, *started reading 9/9, $Finished it, liked it
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai - hold placed
Audition by Katie Kitamura - read (4/20) Yawn. I think I've read too much Kitamura.
The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits - sounds interesting but my libraries don't have it. Looks like the USA ed won't be published until January 2026; *9/9 on order in Encore
The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller - hold placed
Endling by Maria Reva - read (7/5) liked this one
Flesh by David Szalay - checked it out from library, but have decided not to read it.
Seascraper by Benjamin Wood - not at all interested in this.
Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga - hold placed
