The publishers get to submit 2 boo...Hi Yard Bard,<br /> The publishers get to submit 2 books out of all the books they've published during the time period. Then the judges can also request a publisher submit a book if they like something that wasn't submitted. This year I think there were 138 books submitted. Talk about pressure to read! :-)<br /><br />I have Wolf Hall sitting in my reading pile and haven't gotten to it yet, but I've got to get to it! I just love that time period.Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-77429265998474220012010-08-09T14:54:55.143-04:002010-08-09T14:54:55.143-04:00Okay, I must read Skippy Dies and Wolf Hall.
