Feel sad for the carrots and eggs of the world - I think it’s wonderful if you can be a coffee bean, but sometimes it’s not always possible for everyone. Sometimes you’re just too depleted.. xx, from a soft carrot
@@Blanketbook 🐛I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that not all of us can be a coffee bean (though we might want to be). Wishing you restful waters, soft carrot. 🫂
I’m late to this one but just wanted to say I totally agree with you about Defence of the Act - I had a wonderful time with it and although I am grateful to the judges for bringing it to our attention I am also cursing them for not shortlisting it! 🥕
Right? It's truly unfathomable to me that it wasn't shortlisted. Nonetheless, I'm glad you got a chance to read it and that you enjoyed it. I'm very excited to see what Effie Black will publish next.
What a fantastic collection of reviews. You talk about book is such an efficient and intelligent way. Just stumbled upon your channel reading online reviews. Great call on Space Opera, fantastic book. I enjoyed the reference to A Little Life in In Defence of the Act, that amused me a lot.
Thank you so much for those kind words. ☺ I admit, I still need to read A Little Life. Sounds like finally getting around to that book would give a good excuse to revisit In Defense of the Act. 📚👀
I finished reading in Defense of the Act earlier this week- thank you for your fantastic review, it was spot on for me!.. I think I'm a carrot! I was in floods of tears reading the ending!
🐛That ENDING, right?! I'm so delighted that you read the book and enjoyed it as much as I did. 🥳 I'm so grateful to the Women's Prize judges for bringing my attention to this book that I'd have probably never heard of otherwise. If you've read anything similar to Effie Black's book that you'd recommend, please let me know. I mention We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, but that book lacks the humor Black weaves into her magnificent book.
I'm so happy you are back reviewing the Women's Prize books! I can feel my TBR groaning a bit, but I know your recommendations will be worth reading, whether they're shortlisted (or win). Carrot!
oh my goodness, you absolutely convinced me to go pick up In defense of the act! I was just about to look up the audiobook to see who the narrator was and then you said there's no audiobook yet - that broke my heart 😭 but I'm not deterred!!! Ps. Carrot!
Seeing your videos is so delightful and productive , i also used to listen the videos from your previows Channel , I Will check those today . Ana , I was wondering if you perhaps could do some videos about grammar , or maybe a different Channel , I know my English grammar is a mess, partly beccausse i learnt It by my self , but i want to improve that ( the correct use of "; " , "," etc . Please , I would appreciate It, but even if you can't , thank you so much Anna... Mmmm just one more question: Is It Ann, An , Anna or Ana ? , please keep Up with your Awesome videos , one more thing , i found two books yesterday : the Wizard of oz from Frank Baum and the Magic of Oz ( same writer ) , i LOVE go book haunting :)
Thank you for watching, friend! It's Hannah (or Anna). Videos on grammar sound fun, but I'm afraid that isn't my expertise, so I will stick to recommending books. I hope you enjoy L. Frank Baum's books. Those were some of my favorites when I was young. Happy reading!
Thank you for excellent reviews! I am much more interested in In Defence of the Act now. Definitely curious to find out if I'm a carrot 😂 And less interested in the Blue Beautiful World. I was so excited to get some climate fiction/SF on the list that I got the two first books out from the library too. (But the description did make me wonder if it would be a poorer version of Valente's Space Opera.) I've read 7/16 books so far, and Brotherless Night is my favourite, maybe along with Soldier Sailor. But I am really looking forward to Enter Ghost.
🐛You're so welcome! Thank you for watching. ☺ I was right there with you on being excited about some climate change/SF on the longlist (seems like something we ought to see more of), but sadly that's not what the book is. I'm absolutely thrilled that Brotherless Night is your favorite (talk about a marvelous book!), and I'm so excited for you to read in Defence of the Act. Please pop back and let me know your thoughts on the book once you finish reading. Cheers!
🥕🥕Okay, I'm definitely going to add Defence of the Act to the TBR. I'm intrigued. Brotherless Night seems to be well liked by everyone who has picked it up, I just bought a used copy to read in April. I loved Ordinary Human Failings, but wanted to come through the pages and tear that reporter to shreds, haha. Hope you're having a good week!
🐛Thanks, Patti! I'm having a great week so far, and I hope you are too! I'm so excited for you to read In Defence of the Act. Same goes for Brotherless Night. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the books once you finish them. I'll be talking about Ordinary Human Failings in an upcoming video. Tom the reporter definitely stirred strong feelings in me. Hah! Happy reading! 🥰
Great review! I also loved In Defence of the Act. Its not my favorite to win because the prose in the Irish novels is just so dang good but I loved it. Im not excited for The Blue Beautiful World and your review runs along with every other review I've read. Why is it on this list? If all the reviewers are in consensus that this doesnt make sense here, how is it here?!? I'm going to deep dive the judges after I read this. Looking forward to Brotherless night. I'm a proud carrot and more interrsted in being changed by my experience than either hardened by it or changing the environment around me. I think coffee beans are for the young and I'll support good ones! 🥕 ☕ 🥚
🐛I love your take on carrots/coffee beans/eggs so much! And I'm so glad you enjoyed Effie Black's book! As for the Irish authors... I'll be talking about Nolan's book in an upcoming video. Enright's book is on my nightstand, so I'll be reading that soonish. And I need to track down Kilroy's book (very curious about that one). Very excited to explore some more Irish authors... The Blue, Beautiful World's presence on the longlist has me miffed. I mean no disrespect to Karen Lord in saying that; everyone whose read her full trilogy seems to love this third book and says it's a great conclusion to the series. I just don't know why the judges put it on the WP longlist (almost feels like a disservice to Lord, especially when you consider how misrepresented it was by the judges). I'm intrigued by your proposed WP judges deep dive. Very curious to learn what you dig up. 😉
Thank you for the interesting reviews. Out of the books mentioned, the closest for me is "The Blue, Beautiful World", which oddly enough I have read its predecessor in the series {enjoyed it} but not the first. No doubt the series' missing novels should be bumped up in my TBR. Did you know that carrots are healthy?
🐛Very glad to hear carrots are healthy because I love eating them roasted with some arugula and a tahini dressing. Do you have a favorite way to prepare carrots? Thank you for watching ☺
Rrally excited for In Defence of the Act now, just waiting for my library hold (as with half the longlist 😂). I've read Western Lane (not entirely sure I like the plot but the quiet way grief was handled made me cry) and got out The Wren The Wren from my library. 🥕
🐛I'm so excited for you to read Effie Black's book, Lucy! Please let me know what you think of it once you finish. I'd love to hear your thoughts. ☺ I've been hearing a lot of mixed feedback on Western Lane. Not sure I'm going to pick that one up. But The Wren, the Wren is on my nightstand, so I'll be getting to it soonish. Here's hoping it's an enjoyable read for both of us!
@@hellobookworm I've heard the same things about Western Lane but it was one of the only ones I could get from my library (I read it part audio and part print). Going from the last couple of lists, I can't see it as a winner but I can definitely see why it was longlisted.
So fascinating that the Karen Lord book was pitched and blurbed so inaccurately! No way to make a reading experience unsatisfying faster than mismatched expectations. Also, annoying that this is held up as a climate fiction book when it isn't since my fave book of 2023 was an exceptional climate fiction novel! (Adrift by Brideau). I've definitely added In Defense of the Act to my tbr! Love a good weird book! 🥕
🐛I couldn't agree more! That pitch was a sure way to disappoint readers. Why set the book up to fail when its intended audience seems to love it? Doesn't make sense. I've got Adrift by Brideau on my list of books to keep an eye out for when I shop secondhand. Haven't spotted it yet, but it definitely sounds interesting, so I'll keep looking. I love a good weird book too. I hope you enjoy Effie Black's book as much as I did. ☺
Great reviews!! I have read two so far, Soldier Sailor, which i loved and found very relatable as a mother, and Western Lane, which i thought was interesting but didn't really stand out to me. I read it last summer and it has mostly faded in my memory. Next up for me is The Wren The Wren . 🥕
🐛Thank you, Rebecca. I'm thinking I need to give Soldier Sailor a try. That one sounds intriguing. I've got The Wren, the Wren on my nightstand and will get to it soonish. I hope you enjoy it!
I loved Brotherless Night. I was really surprised by In Defense of the Act. I had no idea what to expect going into it and I worried it was going to be so heavy. It is not my favorite on the list but I did enjoy it, and it is the one I found the most surprising. I'd love to be a coffee bean, but I think I'm a carrot.
🐛I had similar feelings about In Defence of the Act. Clearly, it's a subject that needs to be handled delicately, so I had some apprehension, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the author handled the subject matter and the story. I'm so glad to hear that you loved Brotherless Night. It's such a moving, beautiful book. I hope more people will pick it up. Are there any other Women's Prize nominees that you're planning to read?
@@ariannefowler455 Interesting... I've heard mixed reactions to Western Lane. I have no plans to pick up Hangman, but I did read And Then She Fell and will talk about it in an upcoming video. I'm with you in regards to the full longlist: No plans to read it in its entirety. I'm just selecting a few books that caught my eye (same goes for the non-fiction longlist), and will post of the ones I read.
looking forward to more reviews, and I hope your April goes well 📘 and... they just recently added the ability to grow carrots in the game Stardew Valley 🥕
🐛Thank you, Justin. I hope your April goes well too. ☺ Are you an avid Stardew Valley player? I confess I chose Animal Crossing and Fae Farm over Stardew, but I'm very curious about his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.
@@hellobookworm yeah I've really enjoyed Stardew Valley, and am curious about Haunted Chocolate as well. I had been interested in the recent Animal Crossing when it first came out and it seemed like everyone was playing it, but I didn't have a Nintendo
@@Justin_WithThreeDots Oh bummer! Have you gotten a Nintendo since? If not, I imagine they'll be available at a discounted price once Nintendo's new system is announced. It's been 4 years since ACNH came out, but it still has a robust community. I was just playing it last night, in fact. It's a great game for when I need to slow down and quiet my mind for a bit.
@@hellobookworm good to hear, and no I've not bought a console in probably 5 years, I've been sort of waiting to see how this generation shakes out. Maybe I'll eventually get both a Switch to catch up on games exclusive to that system, and a regular PS5 for new/future games since I imagine it'll be cheaper once they release a PS5 Pro model
@@Justin_WithThreeDots Sounds like a good plan. If you do get a PS5 and you enjoy fast-paced, tense games with a mystery at the heart of the story, check out Returnal. That was a favorite game of the year for me. Definitely the most punishing game I've ever played, but I felt like a champ when I finished it.
Interesting. The pop star/celebrity activist element was what intrigued me most about blue beautiful world, so I probably won't read it unless it's shortlisted. I'm about to pick up Brotherless Night, and I think I'll really like it. I hope I can get my hands on In Defense of the Act too
That's wonderful, Ellen. I hope you enjoy Brotherless Night as much as I did, and I'm rooting for you to get your hands on In Defence of the Act. The pop star element of Blue, Beautiful is only a small portion of the book (very minor/understated). But if that's what you're in the mood for, I definitely recommend Valente's book, Space Opera. Happy reading!
Oh wow, Katrina. You're way ahead of me on your Women's Prize reading. I'm curious to know what reasons the other two books don't interest you. Is it the dark subject matter? I'm looking forward to your thoughts.
🐛Hi, Mark! Of the three items (egg, coffee bean, carrot), the carrot is described as the least desirable. Hah! But there's a fourth option that gets mentioned later, which you'll discover for yourself if you read In Defence of the Act. 😉 I hope you enjoy it!
@@markhayward9764 That was fast! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. ☺ So, a carrot after all, eh? Not to worry. It's good that we're not all the same; makes the world a more interesting place.
