So glad you're keen on tasting a few of the books from these different prizes. Great choices and I think they're all excellent... though I've still got Cursed Bunny on my TBR.

Please read Elena Knows!! I loved it. Hoping to read Tomb of Sand and The Books of Jacob soon. I also can’t wait to read Creatures of Passage and The Sentence from the Women’s Prize list

I was surprised that I enjoyed reading Cursed Bunny given the overall theme of the collection. Curious to hear your thoughts on it and which among the stories is your favorite!

I accidentally reserved a copy of Salt Lick without an embedded sticker, which I’m very happy with! I understand it’s a lot of work, but I would at least prefer an embedded sticker with the same colour scheme as the book cover.

I don't use TikTok but I'm wondering if the other book you're referring to is Catch the Rabbit by Lana Bastasic!! It won an EU literature prize a few years ago. If so, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. I'm from the US but I study Bosnian, so I read it in its original Bosnian first, then in English. Lana actually did the English translation herself, which is so impressive. There is a lot of lit out there from Bosnians on how they feel about their country post-war, but it's hard to really understand the complexities of those feelings as someone not from there. Catch the Rabbit personifies Bosnia into a human character and is probably the best medium through which I've been able to feel I understand any of what they feel

Thank you! It was actually a book that was called just 'Bunny', but I'll gladly take the recommendation. :)

I finished Salt Lick a few weeks ago and was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed the writing style as well as the story. I'm very interested to hear what you think once you've read it :-)

I bought Build Your House Around My Body because Jen recommended it (and because of the gorgeous cover tbh) and absolutely loved it! Hope you do too!

Excellent review! It's definitely one of those '5 star prediction' books, so we'll see!
