This month, instead of everyone reading the same book, we will each read a book of your own choice, but one that falls within the reading challenge of: “Read a book written by a Booker Prize or National Book Award nominated author.”

Check out the links below for ideas.

 

Booker Prize

The Booker Prize, first awarded in 1969, is a literary award conferred each year for the best novel written in the English language, which was published in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

• 2023 The Booker Prize Longlist
• 2022 Winner and Longlist
• Quiz: Which book from the Booker Prize 2023 longlist should you read first?
• Discover the complete list of all the winners of the Booker Prize, going back to 1969

 

National Book Award

The National Book Awards were established in 1950 to celebrate the best writing in America. Since 1989, they have been overseen by the National Book Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to celebrate the best literature published in the United States, expand its audience, and ensure that books have a prominent place in our culture. Although other categories have been recognized in the past, the Awards currently honors the best Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Translated Literature, and Young People’s Literature published each year.

• National Book Award 2023 Longlist
• 2022 National Book Award Winners and Longlist
• National Book Award Browse by Year
