#WomensPrizeShortlist

Here are my picks in anticipation of tomorrow‘s shortlist announcement. I just started The Maiden and haven‘t read The Wren, The Wren or A Trace of Sun. I chose not to read Hangman and The Blue, Beautiful World.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am picking up Soldier Sailor from my library tomorrow, but I would not be surprised with any of these on the short list. 7mo

Wonderful writing, often hard to read due to the content. This is excellent.
I wish I had been in a different mood, I think it would have hit harder, I have been craving much lighter reads lately.
I am glad this made the shortlist, it is an interesting story, and I don't see many Jamaican -British novels. I also loved the thread of music throughout, recommend the audio for the rhythm and some music.

jlhammar I‘m holding out for my library hold on the audiobook to come through. Hopefully I‘ll get a chance to listen before the winner announcement! 2y

ChaoticMissAdventures @jlhammar Yes! I really think the audio is the way to go. The narrator is excellent. 2y
