7 weeks! I don't think so...?
There's definitely a reason I turn these 'insights' off for kindle! Haven't worked out how to do it on Libby...

The two books I plan to read from this year‘s Women‘s Prize for Fiction longlist: A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike and Amma by Saraid de Silva.
A Little Trickerie came with a surprise: a signed edition!

For the most part this book has me in a constant state of rage, but this part made me laugh:
"Anyone who has been involved in feminist and left-wing politics will know that uniting anarchist feminists with trade union socialists is no mean feat." ?
Yes, it would take something like the common enemy of undercover cops literally emBEDDED in their homes. ?

pickThere are a bunch of recently published AI books, but this one won out for me as it was on the #WomensPrize longlist for nonfiction. I loved the way Murgia focused on actual humans. Zooming in to show how this technology is impacting real folks helped me stay invested. From an English woman‘s stolen photos on social media made into deepfake porn to the poorest nations whose citizens are exposed to horrific content to teach AI—this is well done.
I did it!
As in, I finished this absolute tome of a history book and with it I reached my yearly goal of 12 non-fiction books. And there's even a month and a half left for me to add a couple more (much shorter and faster reads).

pickFinally read the winner of the #Womensprize and #carolshieldsprize. An important book about war and truth. Beautifully written. I felt removed from the book emotionally. Can appreciate this novel. 4 🌟
pickThis was a complete rollercoaster of emotions. Educational and moving, it‘s so beautifully written. I can see why it won #womensprize #pick #brotherlessnight
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had no idea how to rate this because I thought it was nonfiction, it had me so believing the storyline.
What a gut punch.
Jess is a lesbian and a scientist, studying altruistic suicidal behaviours in spiders (of all things). The novel discusses her personal relationships - touching on mental illness, trauma, queer love, and family dynamics.
Overall a moving and captivating story that will stay with me for a long time.
pickWhat a suprise this novel was to me. It starts so bleak and desperate. This novel follows an Irish family as they relocate to London where a tragic event happens. Imagine my suprise as the book takes a major turn near the end. Loved it! So glad the #womensprize brought this novel to my attention. 3.5 🌟
Winner winner chicken dinner!
