Six clubs were selected by the Booker Prize judges from over 100 applicants and, after joining us at our shortlist announcement party in London on September 6, where the members met the judges and received copies of their assigned book, they set to work. We were looking for a mix of groups that represented the UK as a reading nation clubs that were passionate about books and had built a community together through their shared love of reading. As with all competitions, there would be a winner: representatives from the winning club would be invited to attend this year’s Booker Prize ceremony on Monday, October 17. In partnership with The Reading Agency, the competition invited book clubs across the UK to apply to join us in rating and reviewing the Booker Prize 2022 shortlist. Earlier this summer, we launched the first ever Booker Prize Book Club Challenge.
