To my delight, the Booker Prize longlist has been announced! I’m rather looking forward to a couple long weekends reading through these.

For the list, I’ve gone ahead and included the Booker Prizes’ official links for title and authors as well then a UC Search or Berkeley Public Library link in the parenthesis. 

• Wild Houses by Colin Barrett  (UC Search)
• Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel (UC Search)
• James by Percival Everett (Berkeley Public Library)
• Orbital by Samantha Harvey  (UC Search)
• Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner  (Berkeley Public Library)
• My Friends by Hisham Matar (UC Search)
• This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud (UC Search)
• Held by Anne Michaels (UC Search)
• Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange (UC Search)
• Enlightenment by Sarah Perry (UC Search)
• Playground by Richard Powers (UC Search)
• The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden (UC Search)
• Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood (I’ll have to buy this one)

Keep in mind that you can request these books at the Oakland or San Francisco Public Libraries as well.

I hope we all enjoy!
