Women's Prize Longlist: Or, Stewie's Other Favourite Day of the Year

My other favourite day after International Women's Day and my children's birthdays. Obviously. 

Today, the long list for the Women's Prize for Fiction was released and not only have I not read a single book on this list yet, it is full of authors I haven't read at all. This makes me a rather happy bunny.

I've added all the books below to my wish list:
