Congratulations to the winners. Was hoping Anne Enright and Safiya Sinclair would win. But these are a great group of excellent writers and are all worthy of the trophies 👏 🎉

This is an absolutely terrible recording. Please hire a professional for most of us who can’t be there. Thanks.

I so wish A Flat Place had won this but congratulations to the winner.

Huge congratulations to Naomi Klein! I am such a proud Canadian woman right now. A woman’s prize for non fiction! Phenomenal.

I picked up nearly all of these when the longlist was announced. I better get reading! I'm excited to dive into what sound like powerful reads.

Reading the longlist has been such fun! I'm uploading my reaction video as we speak!! I think I guessed pretty well :)

I'm so confused by Restless Dolly Maunder. It was enjoyable but it wasn't anywhere near as good as Ordinary Human Failings also the judge said it was very funny - was it I totally missed that!

rooting for enter ghost, hangman and and then she fell!! :)

Brotherless Night 🤞

Hoping Ordinary Human Failings makes the Shortlist

Rooting for Brotherless night & Soldier sailor!

Crossing my fingers River East, River West makes the cut!

Superhb sounding shortlist. I've read (and loved) 2 of these, and can't wait to dive into the others.

Hoping to see In Defence of the Act by Effie Black on the shortlist! 💊💕🥰

I think my surprise goes to show just how immensely talented this long list was!!!! so excited to get to these books!

An incredible shortlist! Congrats to the authors. 🥰📚

Which nominees do you hope will get shortlisted? 📚👀 I'd be happy to see Eve, Wifedom, and How to Say Babylon. 🥰 (I'm still reading nominees; I'm sure there will be others.)
