A note from Mary Beard, Chair of the Booker Prize 2026 judges.:

Dear reader,

We did not start out with a checklist of the different types of book we wanted to see represented in the final six, or the kinds of authors or subject matter. But when we looked at the lineup of our shortlist, neatly propped up against one another, almost glowing, we were happy that we had showcased many of the strengths of contemporary English language fiction. 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. In them, we meet characters from different countries and different centuries, created by authors 40 years apart, new talent and well-known favourites. 

This is writing at its best. There’s plenty to enjoy, some blissful escapism and prose to die for (‘I just wish I could have written that’ kept going through my mind). But there is also plenty here to change the way we see the world, to surprise us and to challenge our certainties. 

The Booker Prize 2026 shortlist is: 

The End of Everything by M. John Harrison 
The Disappearers by Marlon James 
Black Bag by Luke Kennard 
May We Feed the King by Rebecca Perry 
The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout 
John of John by Douglas Stuart 
We hope that you get as much out of the books on our shortlist as we have.. #

In this enormously enjoyable introduction to a remarkable country, Christopher Harding traces Japan's rich history over several millennia. Beginning with its earliest coastal communities through to the spread of Buddhism, the rise of the warlords, the promise and menace of the West and Japan's own empire-building, Harding explores how a distinctly Japanese society and culture was forged.

Drawing on the latest scholarship, A Short History of Japan moves beyond traditional tourist-board cliches to consider Japan's own view of its past, values and culture, from ceramics and theatre to food and architecture. The result is a sensory, tactile history conveying to the reader much about Japan's special nature. Harding skilfully shows how these everyday details are intimately bound up with the bigger historical picture, as an expression of the values that have been extraordinarily successful in helping the country to cope with centuries of radical change.

ONE OF IRELAND'S GREATEST SPORTSWRITERS
REFLECTS ON A LIFE LIVED THROUGH SPORT

There was a time when it wasn't unusual for a journalist to walk into a dressing room moments after the final whistle, the joy of victory or sting of defeat hanging in the air. A time when journalists could ring up a player days before the big match ... and get an answer. This was the world that existed when Vincent Hogan entered the press box.

In The Lost Sportswriter, Vincent Hogan recounts and reflects upon a 43-year career at the heart of Irish sport. From the never-ending presence of newspaper deadlines to the golden era of open dressing rooms, Hogan charts and laments how sportswriting transformed - from intimate, personality driven storytelling to today's sterile, PR-managed exchanges. Funny, engaging and unflinchingly self-reflective, The Lost Sportswriter notes a changing game for heroes, matches and the words that outlast them.

Big Bad Wolf is book 1 in the Maple Hollow trilogy and is available to order now!
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dream Harbor series, comes a new small-town romance set in the quirky town of Maple Hollow.
The darker the woods, the bigger the secrets...

Ruby Bellerose lives on the edge of the woods, in a cottage more akin to a fairy tale than modern day life. Her love life is practically non-existent, and she keeps away from the whispered gossip that travels through Maple Hollow.

Until a chance encounter with Rafe.

As mysterious as he is brooding, Ruby is drawn to the woodsman, curious to find out about the stranger who lives deep within the woods.

But Rafe is hiding a secret. And with something lurking in the shadowy forest, will Ruby find that Rafe is her knight in shining armor, or something altogether more dangerous...
