2024 British Book Awards Book of the Year Shortlist

The British Book Awards, a.k.a. The Nibbies, is a celebration of books: it affirms, connects, and energizes the world of reading by showcasing those who create stories and everyone who plays a role in bringing those stories to life.

The Book of the Year Shortlists spotlight the titles that have stirred imaginations, started conversations, and been part of book clubs and bestseller lists. Winners will be chosen on May 13.
