Well, we made it! A 13 Booker Dozen was narrowed down to a sensational six shortlist, to our final winner. I read the shortlist. I have followed the trends within book communities, online and in person, to read the Booker Shortlist. They were, ironically, quite short reads and for the most part, quite enjoyable. They, like reading any new book, opened my eyes to new authors, genres and themes that I wouldn’t normally pick up.
