    I've only read Room so far, but I'll be reading my way through the longlist (at least as many as I can get overseas), so I'll have a better idea in a few weeks. Love this time of year!

    The only one I've read is Annabel, and it definitely deserves to be on the list. I have The Swimmer waiting for me to read and it looks really good. The others are just waiting for me to discover, I guess!
