Just because they're changing the name doesn't mean I will stop reading Orange-nominated books or thinking of it as the Orange Prize. After all, most of those books on my shelf (see below) already say Orange on them.
In 2012 I read 17 Orange books, 2 less than in 2011 but exceeding my goal of one a month. I've been working on reading all the winners, and got to three more last year: A Spell of Winter (the first winner), Song of Achilles (the last winner), and Property which won in 2003. I was able to read all the shortlisted books for 2012, and I’ve read 6 of the longlisted books as well.
Orange Goals:
✔✔✔✔✔Read at least 12 Orange-listed books
Read all of the 2013 shortlist ✔✔___ ___ ___ ___
Read at least 2 winners from previous years (priorities are: ✔Home-Marilynne Robinson, The Road Home - Rose Tremain, We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver

It doesn't get shorter my dear because we love our Oranges. They will always be Oranges to me no matter what the 'correct' name is. You have a slew of good to great ones on your shelves. Enjoy them Anne.
