(I have not read the other titles. And, sadly, I wont get a chance before the winner is announced. I’m in deep 1930s immersion and reading only books about or published then.)
Good luck and congrats to all the nominees.
Yay! I love that book so so much, but I don’t know many other people who’ve read it. Hopefully that will now change. 🙂
