Also the Booker Prize Longlist has been announced. You can see the full list alongside Waterstones unique reviews of each book on their dedicate page here

The UK’s most prestigious award for fiction in English, the Booker Prize has been a benchmark for outstanding literary excellence for over five decades. The 2021 longlist is a fitting reflection of an extraordinary year, tackling subjects ranging from the relationship between cultural and individual identity to the effects of enforced isolation and the nature of artificial intelligence. Pitting works from established literary heavyweights Kazuo Ishiguro, Sunjeev Sahota and Richard Powers against relative newcomers, discover the year’s most talked about fiction.

The shortlist will be announced on Tuesday 14 September and the winner crowned on Wednesday 3 November.

If you'd like to promote any of these books or have any good content opportunites to showcase the upcoming August books of the month then get in touch, we'd love to hear from you

Thanks

Chris & The Waterstones Team
