WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION JOURNAL. | THE. WOMEN'S PRIZE

I am making 20 predictions for the 16 books on the Women's Prize Long List.

I think that if they are on the list they will only pick one of either Smith, Patchett, or Ward - women that were on the list and are very popular already. They all feel a bit too obvious.

I heard a theory that Enright will be on it becuase she gets pulled every 4 years! 2012, 2016, 2020 it is her time again

ChaoticMissAdventures I think their list will have more books about motherhood based on who the judges are, but I honestly don't read those sn couldn't find many I was interested in. I adde Reporduction by Hall because that seemed to be something they would pick most of the others on my list I have already added to my TBR but that one I would not read unless it is on this list. 2mo

squirrelbrain Great list! I‘m just about to start Talking at Night, because I think it might be on the list and it‘s due back to the library just before the Longlist announcement. 2mo

jlhammar Oooh, great predictions! I‘m getting excited. Really hoping we see Pet by Catherine Chidgey on there. 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain it sounds so good! I am trying to ignore all the comparsions to other books, because that always disappoints me,
It is a debut, and we know how much the judges love a debut novel! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @jlhammar This one also sounds so good! I had to stop myself at 20, but my TBR has really grown the last month looking at possiblities. It is so hard to guess what these judges will pick. 2mo

BarbaraBB Interesting! I do look forward to the longlist! 2mo

Deblovestoread Love seeing your predictions. I‘ve been making a list of all those predicted and looking heavily at those that have made more than one list. 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Deblovestoread it would be interesting to keep that list! I know each year there are a few I am surprised that don't make it, but by the next year I have forgotten 😂 2mo
