The 2018 Reading Prize shortlist was announced today, and I’ve read four of them:)
Here are the six books in the 2018 shortlist. Links on the title are to Readings (and there is currently a special deal if you want to buy all six).

The winner will be announced online in late October, and will be featured in the November issue of Readings Monthly. They will receive $3000 in prize money.
Congratulations to all the authors, editors and publishers!

So six more wouldn’t really make much difference, and you would have some really interesting books to read!

I hope Pulse Points wins (not saying that because I’ve read it but because Down writes beautifully and Our Magic Hour didn’t get the attention it deserved).
