Women's Prize for Fiction book reviews and shortlist predictions 🔮 @benreadsgood

Uploaded April 2024 | Updated September 2026, 54 minutes ago

I haven't made a specific effort to read the Women's Prize for Fiction longlist this year, but have ended up reading over half of it! So here are my reviews, my rankings of the books (although, to be honest, there is so little between some of these books for me that it's been hard to nail down a definitive order) and of course my guess at the shortlist.

Let me know which ones you've read, how you thought about them, and what you're expecting to see on the shortlist.

Womens Prize for Fiction book reviews and shortlist predictions 🔮

International Booker Prize 2023 longlist predictions

Every book I read in June | Reading wrap-up

The best books I read in 2022 (and you should read them too)

$ChatGPT recommended me a book to read... heres what I thought Yeah, sure, artificial intelligence is going to change the world. But what if we put its powers to good use and got some book recommendations from it? In this video I’m putting ChatGPT to the test to see if it can help me find my next favourite book. Will this exciting technology deliver on its promises? Let’s find out… If you want to try it out for yourself, heres a link to ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com And heres the prompt I used, plus the follow-up specifying more detail 👇 I want you to act as a book recommendation expert. I would like you to recommend me 3 books to read, and for each recommendation give 3 reasons why I should read that book. To give you an idea of what I like to read, my favourite types of books are {insert your favourite genres}. Some of my favourite books include {insert some books you like}. Id like to be more specific with my request. Give me three books that are: 1. Adult fiction 2. Novels 3. Less than 300 pages 4. Less well-known Give it a go and see if you find some good recommendations, and let me know in the comments. If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up. And if you’d like to see more of my content, hit the subscribe button. P.S. I cannot believe @jack_edwards posted his ChatGPT video *as I was editing mine*. I promise you I am not attempting to live my life as a poor imitation of his, (even if it looks that way, haha). But now that Ive posted this I can go and watch his video. #booktube #bookrecommendations #chatgpt$
