Tommy Orange || Wandering Stars

Longlist 2024 Wandering Stars is the sequel to There There, a beautiful novel about a Native American family ending with one of them being shot at a powwow. Wandering Stars takes up the story after this event. That is to say, Wandering Stars re-acquaints us with the family after first having taken us through us through two centuries of family history. After having finished I almost felt as if I…

I am ESCTATIC to hear that Orbital won the 2024 Booker Prize!! It's not often a short, plotless, sci-fi book wins such a major award. One of my favorite reads all year--a poetic ode to the Earth. Congrats to Samantha Harvey!

The end papers of The Safekeep are seriously beautiful

Why I picked this: After reading The Overstory, I decided I would read whatever Richard Powers wrote. He is now up there with John Irving for me (which also made me realise I don’t have any women authors where I feel the same. I’m working on that but if you have any suggestions feel free to send them in).

Which is to say I was always going to read this book, and I bumped it up my reading queue so I could read it straight away (it was published in September this year).

Richard Powers || Playground

Longlist I love Richard Powers. I probably read all of his novels and he has yet to disappoint me. Playground definitely adds to my appreciation of the man and his talent. Playground also confirms Powers to be a firm advocate of our natural world. In Overstory he opened my eyes to the beauty of trees and their underlying system. In Playground he opens my eyes once more, by describing life in our…

Find Out Which Books Made the 2024 Booker Prize Shortlist

The 2024 year is coming to an end and that means the award seasons are just around the corner. And today, we found out the 2024 Booker Prize Shortlist and which six books were selected.
