Women's Prize Longlist Reading Vlog 

Hi Kier! Sorry it's taken me so long to check your video, I've been a been absent lately! Great to see your thoughts on some of the books. I was so pleased to see Elliott's book on the list and getting some hype - although I do feel that after reading the book, I thought it wasn't weaved together as well as I would have liked it, but I really appreciated what it was trying to do! I want to see what's next for Elliott! I'm so happy that you gave In Defence of the Act!! I'm finally getting back to it to finish it now :) I did love 8 Lives! Like you said the framing device was well done! Like And then she fell I thought the way it was weaved was something weird, but it made me want to keep going to figure things out.

I have just got back into reading after having my children. Soldier Sailor is one of the best books I have ever read. It’s raw - and for me a lot of it was very close to the bone. I am currently reading The Maiden - cannot believe it’s on the same list, not in the same league.

You have definitely made me want to read In Defense of the Act.

I LOVED In Defence of the Act I realllllly hope it gets shortlisted 🤞🤞🤞 Not long now!!! Xxx
