The Booker Prize 2025 shortlist, all six
the six shortlisted for 2025, in the order I actually read them. Flesh took the prize in the end (deserved).
01
The Land in Winter - Andrew Miller
started here because it was already on my shelf, second Booker shortlist for him
02
Audition - Katie Kitamura
her first time shortlisted, short and the kind you reread the same page twice
03
The Rest of Our Lives - Ben Markovits
04
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny - Kiran Desai
she won in 2006 for The Inheritance of Loss, so I had high expectations
05
Flashlight - Susan Choi
won the National Book Award for Trust Exercise back in 2019, this is her first Booker nod
06
Flesh - David Szalay
his second time shortlisted and this one took it (deserved). the shortlist was better than some past winners though, don't @ me
