I've read Home Fire, Manhattan Beach and Sing, Unburied, Sing. All very good in different ways.

I've read Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and Home Fire. I am about 3/4 of the way through Three Things About Elsie and really enjoying it. I'm interested in reading quite a few others, but from what I can tell so far, quite a few are not yet available in Canada.

Thanks for the list, Elizabeth.

Chellesbear posted it in her thread first (she was very fast!).

I think this is the most I've read from the longlist before it was published. I've read Home Fire, Manhattan Beach, Sing, Unburied Sing and my favourite, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

I made a longlist List for ranking your favourites from this year's list. Go have fun!

I've read and rated Eleanor Oliphant, Three Things About Elsie, Miss Burma, Sing, Unburied, Sing and Home Fire so far from the Long List and rated them on your list, Elizabeth. I hope to get to another book before the shortlist comes out, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for creating the list, Elizabeth.
