Recs if you like Hotel World...

For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books! Before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. After I finish adding in all of the books, I'll pin a comment with the winners by year in case you are only interested in those! (Work in Progress - I'm adding too many books to the database at once haha)

Books by queer Scottish writers.

I just finished who will be remembered here and am now keen to try out other works of the writers who collaborated. Thought I’d make a list in case someone else is interested :)

Suggestions for anything queer and Scottish are welcome, as are comments if you see something on the list you think doesn’t fit. I’m not Scottish and have read exactly none of these books, so I am obviously not the leading authority on anything.

Complete! Every book longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction since it was founded in 1996, under its current title and previous sponsored titles of 'Orange' and 'Baileys' Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!

Books across all genres taking place almost entirely in hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs, boarding houses, retreats, you get the point. Whether it’s a single night or an extended stay, you’re an employee or an owner, the transitory element of hotels can provide us with great stories. Sometimes it’s about getting lost, finding yourself, taking a break, healing, investigating or trying to find a way out… Recommendations encouraged

Books written by Scottish authors/set in Scotland
