Happy to announce that this little project is complete, I'll add to it every year but for those who are interested, here is every book ever longlisted for the Women's Prize For Fiction

wow, what an undertaking to put this together! I've only got 7% overlap, I'll have to fix that 😔

I'm at 12%, I have been trying to read as many as I can for the past 3 years but there are sooo many in the backlist that are now calling to me! I loved seeing the trends in covers as I went through and I really enjoyed putting it together, hopefully we can all find some good TBR picks in here!
