Hi everyone, in today's video I have six brief book reviews for you: all the rest of the books I have read for this year's Women's Prize for Fiction Longlist.

Pod 4:04
Children of Paradise 7:16
Stone Blind 9:33
Cursed Bread 11:19

#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 your favourites from the list or predictions.
