I'm a judge for a fiction prize. Here's every nominated book (part 2).

I'm on the jury for this year's Republic of Consciousness Prize, United States and Canada. Small publishers are invited to submit one work of literary fiction to the prize. This year, we have 45 books nominated by their publishers. I filmed a short video about every single book. This is my compilation of all those videos, part 2, books 24-45!
