Booker 2020: Our Predictions for Winner
https://thebookerprizes.com/fiction/2020
We have decided on a winner and we are nearly unanimous in our decision
Book Worm’s Prediction: Clearly there is only one possible winner and that is The Shadow King. However the Booker judges never agree with me so Real Life will probably win.
Tracy’s Prediction: This year is harder than usual to predict (of course my record for predicting the winner is 0%). I think that the winner this year will be The Shadow King.
Nicole’s Prediction: I didn’t like it, but I see only one clear choice and it’s The Shadow King.
Anita’s Prediction: It would be easier for me to predict if I had actually read all six books, but I’m going with Real Life. Timely, yet restrained.
Booker Shortlist 2020: The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste
The winner? You know the year is 2020 when a book about war is the least depressing book on the shortlist.
