Need help ASAP [Urgent] with Personal Statement

Hi, my personal statement needs to be done tonight, hence the urgency
I'm applying for Politics and IR (variants include IR&politics, politics WITH IR and possibly just IR).

I currently have 2 books listed in my personal statement that I have read and elaborated on.
-The Globalisation of World Politics
-Introduction to IR: Theories and Approaches

However, as you can see, they are both IR books and I feel as though I'm lacking politics demonstration of interest/knowledge.

My issue is that the only possible book I can include (as it's the only one I own and have read) is "British Politics for Dummies"

Are these "simpler" non-textbooks looked down on by universities? Are they seen as not helpful?

TL;DR: Should I include and refer to "British Politics for Dummies" in my personal statement?

You can also discuss articles relating to politics if you feel you need to, although two books is probably enough. Do you have other things to show an interest in politics?

I've talked about the General Election but the rest is rather International-heavy.

I'm thinking of including the fact I keep up to date with current affairs through politics shows such as Question Time and The Andrew Marr Show- would that be better?

Everyone probably does.

Would you say it's better than nothing? Or would a specific news story/event be more demonstrative of interest?

Mention The Economist, Spectator, New Statesman, Prospect? - They cover a broad range of topics so you could pretty much write about anything generic/topical and link to your 'wider reading' of one of these magazines.

It's not about regurgitating books you have read it's about your critical view of them and what they are trying to say. How your views differ from the norms that established them. How that book impacts the world around us and how it impacted it you. How does that book proper you to greatness. Besides, I didn't add a book I read in my PS so I can drop it on the "like it's hot" on interview

If it helps any, I wrote about the refugee issue in mine and I have 2 offers so far

What did you apply for/where?

I've referenced specific topics in the book that I found interesting and why.

But I'm way over the character limit
Do I need to include the authors of the books?

Eg. "I am currently reading _______ by ______"
