I'm reviewing all the International Booker books I've read and reacting to the shortlist!

It's time to react to the announcement of the preselection for the 2024 season of the International Booker Prize! I'm so excited about the books that are on this year's shortlist. Here are my book reviews for the shortlisted books I've read so far! Let me know your favorites, what you read in the 2024 longlist, and what your reaction was to the shortlist reveal! I can't believe how many of my shortlist predictions were correct and I also know my hopes for this year's 2024 Booker winner! I had a great time reading this year's longlist and the Booker proved once again that this is my favorite book prize of the year! My thanks go to the judges of the International Booker Prize 2024 as they gave us an excellent longlist and an even better shortlist! I have high hopes that Kairos or What I'd Rather Not Think About will be the ultimate winners!
