As book lovers, we know you are always looking to find your next quality read. Our self-guided Reading Challenge is designed to encourage readers around the world to explore the longlist, share their thoughts, and connect with fellow Booker Prizes fans. 

Whether you want to read just one book or the entire longlist, we’d love you to take part. You can now download our reading chart to track and share your progress, and explore the 13 books in detail with our extracts. And if you need help deciding which book is perfect for you, take our quiz.

Joining in is easy and we’ve got lots of handy tips to aid your participation, below. Remember, you can read as many books as you like – and all at your own pace. 

Download our resources: Print off our reading chart to track your progress during the challenge, or use our social media templates to share your reading journey and thoughts online. 

Follow us for the latest updates: Keep an eye on our social channels for updates and to follow the International Booker Prize Reading Challenge online. You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok. We’ll be posting regular prompts and sharing updates from readers within our community, as they take part in the challenge.

Share your progress: We’d love you to get involved using the hashtag #IBPReadingChallenge. You can share your progress as you read, whether it’s a photo of a stack of longlisted books in the order you plan on reading them, a photo of your current read or meaningful quotes that stuck out. Maybe you want to share your thoughts as you read or a review after you’ve finished each book? Or if you’re feeling ambitious, share your finished stack of books once you’ve read all the books in the longlist.

Join the Booker Prize Book Club: The Booker Prize Book Club is a place for readers everywhere to discuss Booker Prize-nominated books and authors. Here, you can connect with 27,000 book enthusiasts to discuss your favourites, and more.

Sign up for our newsletter: Join us over on Substack, where we’ll be sharing a range of content on the longlist and you can explore which of this year’s books you’d like to pick up.
