My list, or stack

Shortly before the Booker Prize Winner is announced this evening I am hastily posting 'my list' - the shortlisted books in order (right to left) that I would like the winner to be. It is such a strong shortlist that any one of these could be the winner, so I am not making any predictions. These are just stacked in my order of preference. I would not be unhappy if any of them win, except perhaps the Lockwood, which I really don't want to read . . . and you can see how far I got with 'The Fortune Men'!.

Later
‘The Promise’ won - excellent. It was a good show with all the shortlisted authors, films from their books etc. The book that everyone should read won . . . quite right.

Apologies to those who are not interested in books, but it was either this or the results of the playing with paint I have been doing, or the super new shower we now have. An interesting day . . . and it will be an interesting evening.
