Alice and the Giant Bookshelf | 4 Women's Prize Longlist Book Reviews | Demon Copperhead, I'm A Fan, Marriage Portrait & Fire Rush! @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hi everyone, in today's video I have four book reviews for you: 4 of the first 5 books I have read for this year's Women's Prize for Fiction Longlist. Please note this was filmed on 29th March.
Unfortunately I've not been well so it hasn't been possible to edit or film in the past week, so I do apologise for the delay, especially with my full March Wrap Up, which is not yet filmed.

Intro 0:00
I'm A Fan by Sheena Patel 2:00
Fire Rush by Jacqueline Crooks 5:05
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell 9:10
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver 12:24
Final thoughts 17:52

I mentioned that Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo was read prior to the longlist for the @BookTubePrize and you can find my review of that in this video:

#wpplodalong

The Women's Prize Plodalong 2023 will be hosted by me, Gemma @GemofBooks and Charlie @CharlieBrookReads! We felt like a relaxed readalong is needed for our favourite literary prize. Our Plodalong starts on 7th March, the same day as the Longlist is announced, and will run throughout the Women's Prize season. We hope you will join us for some live chats and "Reading Plods", the new laid-back equivalent of Reading Sprints.

Thanks for watching, please do comment to let me know how you are getting on with reading the @WomensPrizeforFiction if you are joining the plodalong, or just let me know if you've read or plan to read any of these.
