The Dublin Literary Award 2024 Longlist and my three choices

January 31, 2024 ~ The Longest Chapter ~ 1 Comment

You can't go wrong looking for good novels to read in this annual longlist. Nominations are made by librarians from around the world, so it's wide-ranging with surprises. I've listed here the ones I want to read, and those that already have been mentioned on the blog. Plus a link to the award list.

January 25, 2023January 28, 2023 ~ The Longest Chapter ~ 3 Comments

I thought I’d share the three novels that are keeping me company right now and giving me something to look forward to. They’re very different in their plots, from introspective journaling to a villager's storytelling to an Alpine search. Here's why I've chosen them.

The Longest Chapter is written by book critic Kassie Rose. Her reviews and commentary can be heard on WOSU 89.7 FM, an NPR member station broadcasting throughout Central Ohio.
