Hi everyone. For part of this video, I wanted to remember a BookTube friend, Alice from @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf, who suddenly and tragically passed away a few weeks ago. This was difficult to film, but I wanted to pay my respects to a really wonderful person. I hope you join me in wishing the very best to her friends and family.

@CharlieBrookReads did a wonderful, much longer tribute to her good friend Alice here:

Here’s the livestream I did with Alice and the other Women’s Prize plodders (the most fun I’ve had on Booktube):

The usual book news and other segments follow, as does a somewhat surreal feelgood story at the end.
