Hello! Here is My Booker Prize and Women's Prize Longlist 2023 Reaction. I know I'm late, I was in Peru (look out for vlogs on that coming soon), but I wanted to talk about my thoughts about some of the books that have been longlisted. Let me know if you want me to read the shortlist for either of these prizes, or any thoughts you have.
