I’ve been a bit slack in announcing that I’m taking part in the Shadow Giller jury again (for more information, please see this post on KevinfromCanada’s blog), which means you will see reviews of all five shortlisted titles appear here over the coming month or so.

The shortlisted titles are:

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 20 November. The Shadow Giller will name our winner a couple of days beforehand.

In the meantime, if you are on Twitter do follow us @ShadowGiller. Please use the hashtag #ShadowGiller

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.
