SO EXCITED the #womensprize is doing a nonfiction book beginning this year! The longlist was announced today and I‘ve read 2, already had 1 checked out, 2 were on my tbr and the rest seem pretty interesting too!
Anyone else going to read these? I haven‘t seen any posts so far, but also haven‘t scrolled through. How about a tag? #WPNF24
vlwelser I did not care for this. And I didn't realize it was new. I'm probably going to dip into some of the others.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

How to Say BabylonChaoticMissAdventures I have only read one, these list always make me feel so Unread! Some of these sound super interesting, some not so much, I think I am going to tackle a couple while we wait for the Fiction list on the 5th!

Chelsea.Poole @vlwelser I believe it came out in the US in 2021, so it must have been published in the U.K. within the time frame to be eligible. 1y
Chelsea.Poole @Amor4Libros I‘m really looking forward to that one!! Glad to hear you loved it. 1y
Chelsea.Poole @ChaoticMissAdventures that‘s one of the two I‘ve finished too. Thought provoking! 1y
Hooked_on_books I‘ve read 4: All That She Carried, Eve, Some People Need Killing, and The Dictionary People. All are very good! I‘ll probably end up reading most (but not all) of them, but I‘m not going to try to do so on any timeline. I have put the ones available to me either on my library audio holds list or tagged them on Everand. There‘s some interesting looking books here! 1y
Chelsea.Poole @Hooked_on_books yes there are some interesting looking titles! I‘m about to startSome People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country 1y
Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My CountryGraywacke I don‘t know that i can read any, but i love the list. I‘m fascinated and _want_ to read them all. I might try to sneak one or two in. 1y
youneverarrived I love that they‘ve started doing this prize! I almost bought Eve the other week so definitely want to read that and Doppelgänger is on my tbr. I read Matrescence recently and rated it five stars ? 1y
Librarybelle I‘ve been eyeing the list…I love that there is now a nonfiction. I‘ve placed a few on hold from the library, but selection is limited. I‘m going to check ebook options through my library‘s digital platform, but I‘m going to read what I can! I actually own a copy of Young Queens, and I have not started it yet, so this might be my big push to start it sooner than later! 1y
Chelsea.Poole @Graywacke @Librarybelle I‘m in the US and there are several that haven‘t been published yet here. When they are I‘ll give them a try! 1y
Chelsea.Poole @youneverarrived I‘m interested in Matrescence but it‘s not available here yet. It‘s one I‘m interested in, so I‘ll look for it when it is available! 1y
TheKidUpstairs I put a bunch on hold yesterday, I'm planning on dipping in and out of the list when I can! 1y
Librarybelle Ah! That‘s why I couldn‘t find all of them. Makes perfect sense now! 😂 1y
Graywacke @Chelsea.Poole Twelve are available now. Four have later US release dates: Intervals by Marianne Brooker-Feb 28 (?); Code Dependent : Living in the Shadow of AI by Madhumita Murgia-june 18; Vulture Capitalism : Corporate Crime, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom by Grace Blakeley-March 12; The Britannias : An Island Quest by Alice Albinia-feb 27 1y
Chelsea.Poole @Graywacke thanks for the info! I should have clarified that many aren‘t available on library platforms I have access to at this time, a few due to later publication dates. Others I‘m not sure…maybe later release dates for audio versions etc. 1y
Graywacke @Chelsea.Poole i didn‘t check library‘s, but i did check audio. 😁 Release dates are the same, but four don‘t have audio options on audible (2 are future US releases): Intervals, Shadows at Noon, A Flat Place, The Britannias. (edited) 1y
