I think Gliff is one of my most anticipated books this winter. I was eyeing Small Rain but health/sickness topics rarely pull me in…it’s just such a depressing fact of life on earth. Thanks as always for your thoughts!
we need a little countdown in the corner of the screen for how many Booker books are left lol i'm halfway through Gliff for the second time (couldn't wait for the international delivery and read the ebook in the meantime) and enjoying it even more on round two, as usual with Smith!
Dystopian Pony Book hehe yes! Having just finished my review of "Gliff" I'm very interested in yours .... I had a very different experience with it. If not for Ali Smith's reputation I would have dismissed the book without a second thought, but I gave it more thought and got what I could out of it. I'm still uncertain about it, actually, which is why I'm wondering through BookTube looking for other reviews. Always great to listen to your thoughts! Regards, Eleanor.
Booker Prize “ticking away” in the background sounds like at some point it will all explode! I picture it as a pile of award winning books with an old fashioned ACME alarm clock strapped to dynamite on top with the clock hands winding down.
Gliff was wonderful but I found the messages a fraction too heavily flagged. This only meant it was one fraction below perfect for me and I look forward to Glyph.
I really need to try out some Ali Smith!

I received Garth Greenwell's book as an ARC, love his work, as you say Bob, intense, and emotive.

Aha, I need to do that! Although I’m worried it would judge me when it doesn’t move for weeks at a time 😂
Ali Smith makes you laugh, then punches you on the chin. I'm reading Gliff and loving it.
@@speedracer2841 that’s exactly it! She’s so good at landing that killer blow while you’re not expecting it!
I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

Thank you, and I’m excited to see your review of it!

@@bookofdust Aha yes! That is how it often feels 😂
@ BOOM!
I have never read Ali Smith but Gliff sounds like something that would suit my taste. What is your favotite book of hers?
Ooh, great question, thanks! Probably Summer or The Accidental!

Ah yes, I get that! And Glyph should be good fun, I think!
