📚 The Booker Prize shortlist is here! 📚

Have you read any of the shortlisted books yet? Or are there a few waiting patiently on your TBR pile?

Mary Beard, Chair of the Booker Prize 2026 judges shares that: 'these novels range from the hilarious to the discomfiting, from the frighteningly strange to the alarmingly domestic, from the powerfully shocking to the intriguingly understated'.

We’d love to know: which ones have you read, and which are you hoping to pick up next?

We’re particularly excited to get stuck into May 'We Feed the King' by Rebecca Parry! 👑📖

Tell us your Booker Prize TBR in the comments — we’re always looking for our next great read! 💛

You can find copies of all of the longlist and shortlist titles in our shop. Time to get reading ahead of the winning book announcement on Monday 9th November!
