I plan on reviewing all the titles as part of my participation in the Shadow Giller jury. Do keep coming back to this post as I will update the hyperlinks above as and when I review each title.

The winner of the $100,000 prize will be announced on 7 November. The Shadow Giller will name our winner a couple of days beforehand.

I am a book lover who has been reviewing books online as a hobby since 2001. This blog, Reading Matters, was set up in 2004 and has gone through various guises over the past 17 years. I like to read widely but there’s a special place in my heart for literary fiction from Ireland and Australia.

  2. I’m absolutely loving Do Not Say We Have Nothing. It’s one I have to concentrate on but it’s worth it & suspect it will at least win one of the prizes it’s shortlisted for.
