pick7th book read from Women‘s Prize for fiction Long List
Unpopular opinion but this time, I really liked this novel. In a peculiar, unique sarcastic tone, the author narrate different topics: (social, political, cultural, etc) through this man who visited his country after 26 years of exile.I think it was so creative. Character has a fragmented thinking process, thinking about what he is thinking/observing/doing. ⬇️
Thanks @dabbe for the tag and Thank you @Cupcake12 for creating this play~tag~share card.
1- tackle some errands.
2- Chinchilla...they're like little cuties from a cozy cartoon.
3- There is a bunch of different creatures I would love to be...a surprising pick for me would be the Jaguar. Surprising, because the feline comes in around #20 on my “favorites“ list. Yet, over the last 2years, the Jaguar has been catching my attention for some reason.
pickThird in the newest bunch of Munsch. It's still not as intricate, but I'm not complaining. #20-2024
pickLast book completed during the month of March. I couldn‘t finish another book. Second book read from the Women‘s Prize Fiction long list.
A family saga during Sri Lanka war. So hard and sad. I searched for some information about this time and it was terrible, so many people died, so long this war lasted😢 💔
Beautifully written but hard to read. 4.5/5⭐️
so-soUnpopular opinion I guess. I didn‘t enjoy this story. It started so well and there were intparts but sometimes I felt disconnected with the story with details. In my opinion it was not well integrated. I have a couple of books by this author 😬2.5⭐️
pickBook read I. February 2024
This is about 4 women that became friends, these are their stories about their infidelities. I think they justified their infidelities instead of being honest with their spouses and the May, lack of communication. But it is also about friendship and at the end of the novel, each of them grew as a person. 3⭐️I almost DNF in those first chapters. Nominated in the Planeta Prize🤷🏽♀️
pickA book club read, it was interesting and a great history lesson. I enjoyed the pictures of the women peppered throughout. I prefer historical fiction to actual history, and this could‘ve been a fun read but the style was very factual and somewhat boring. Women‘s basketball, all female sports really, owe these amazing women huge thanks for the role they had in advancing sports for women. Book #20 in 2024
Oopsie! I put The Sweet Spot on my #BookSpinBingo board twice. Before the #bookspin and #doublespin numbers are drawn I will change #20 to Migrations.

The experience in reading these novels from the long list have been so interesting, trying to see why the judges selected them😃
I watched a couple of videos about long list predictions and various interesting novels were mentioned that were not selected. I wish I could read them later. But too many books, too little time
