& our last #BOTY! THE VULNERABLES by Sigrid Nunez (Virago)
Cat says: like all of Nunezâs books, it's funny and moving, she writes like nobody else. Particularly interesting for writers as it poses questions about what it means to write!

Winner of The Week Junior Book Award 2024, SAFFIYAH'S WAR by Hiba Noor Khan (Andersen) #BOTY #KidLit
So says: Safiyyah is a schoolgirl in Paris in 1940 â but this is not like any WWII novel youâve read before. Unbelievably gripping & beautifully written debut.

From @prototypepubs.bsky.social it's PRAIRIE, DRESSES, ART, OTHER by Danielle Dutton #BOTY
Cat says: made me feel like writing. The stories are really short & refreshingly ambiguous: life writing? fiction? Who cares? Theyâre really cool.

From @galleybeggars.bsky.social it's ALL MY PRECIOUS MADNESS by Mark Bowles
Emz says: Just like Thomas Bernhardâs narrators have a deep hatred for Austria, Bowlesâ seething monologue is a rejection of English culture in favour of the continent
