I always get excite...I have read... none of these. I always get excited when the longlist comes out, but at that point no one's really heard of any of the books so NOPE. Then the shortlist happens, and by that point I have a better idea of what's what. Still haven't read any of them yet this year though. I DO, however, very much want to read the Karen Joy Fowler and Ali Smith offerings at some point. I'll probably buy the former this week, actually. <br /><br />As for previous winners - I bought The Luminaries a while back after rave reviews from two of my favourite BookTubers, but haven't quite dared take the plunge yet. For £3.85 in Tesco I wasn't saying no though, not for a book that size! I have Wolf Hall, The Line of Beauty (really looking forward to some more Hollinghurst!), Vernon God Little and The Life of Pi on Mount TBR as well. Only twelve years behind on those early ones! :PElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
