I had over 90 days reading streak on my kindle and I’ve missed a day
irrationally sad about this.
Me - "ooh let me look this one up, sounds up my street'I loved this book! It’s been nearly 2 years since I read it and I can still remember the shocks I got as I read on. Hope you enjoy it!
Haha same hereMe - "ooh let me look this one up, sounds up my street'
Amazon - "you already bought it mate.."
(This happens to me more often than I'm willing to admit!)

I’ve read The Safekeep (which I loved), Ministry of Time (good but a lot of people didn’t like it) and Nesting (very moving). My copy of Dream Count came this morning and I’ve got Fundamentally on the Kindle. I’ll probably read all of the long list! My book club group were part of the public focus group for the short listed books last year, so I have copies of all the shortlist. My favourite was the winner!Is anyone planning to read anything from the Women’s Prize longlist?
I’ve read one and think I’m going to go try and read a few before the shortlist announcement.
Safekeep
Nesting
Persians
Dream Count
Good Girl
Also tempted by -
The Artist
Dream Hotel
Amma
Fundamentally
I’m reading Safekeep atm and Dream Count is arriving this morning. Am attempting to be disciplined and read the ones that I have until the short list is announced but there’s at least 4 I don’t own I really want to read.I’ve read The Safekeep (which I loved), Ministry of Time (good but a lot of people didn’t like it) and Nesting (very moving).

Same thoughts exactly!
There’s nothing more exciting than an unexpected sequel to your fave books being announced! However, question for you all…Am I the only person on this thread that’s never read a single Jacqueline Wilson book?? I was just a bit too old for her books when they first came out and never seen a reason to pick one up as an adult.Happy WBD! I know Think Again didn’t live up to many people’s expectations but this still makes me excited…
I just came to post this
I hadn’t read them either but I read Think Again last month. Didn’t like it.There’s nothing more exciting than an unexpected sequel to your fave books being announced!

i’ve owned enter ghost for ages, this has now inspired me to actually read itI’m reading Safekeep atm and Dream Count is arriving this morning. Am attempting to be disciplined and read the ones that I have until the short list is announced but there’s at least 4 I don’t own I really want to read.
Very jealous your book club got to be part of it last year! I read 5/6 of the shortlist and the winner was my favourite too - Enter Ghost was a close second.
i really didn’t like think again and yet i know i will 100% buy and read this. i just hope her editor is a bit harsher this time around!Happy WBD! I know Think Again didn’t live up to many people’s expectations but this still makes me excited…
Already read Tell Me Everything and already purchased All Fours. None of the others appeal > TBH from past experience if a book wins or is nominated for one of these prixes its generally a good indicator I will not enjoy it. I do read a lot of lit fic but especially these days you tend to get a lot of the same types of books nominated and they just do not interest meIs anyone planning to read anything from the Women’s Prize longlist?

not into crime , thrillers, mysteries but you all are tempting me with this First Born - i think due to the London/ New York aspect..I enjoyed First Born alot. I can still fully remember the story which is rare for me.
The Favourites is 99p today!

I read Tracy Beaker to my son, but didn't grip me enough to read more haha.There’s nothing more exciting than an unexpected sequel to your fave books being announced!
