A few weeks ago I announced here<\/a>\u00a0that Mookse Madness 2019, which will start in March, will center on Booker Darlings, or, eight male and eight female authors whose books have shown up on the most Man Booker Prize shortlists over the years. I announced the authors, then, and today I’m happy to present the list of books by each author!<\/p>\n

As a reminder, each author has four books in the tournament, for a total of 64 books. In the first two rounds, the author’s books will compete against each other until we have one book per author still standing. The remaining sixteen books will fight in death matches until one emerges as the winner of Mookse Madness 2019.<\/p>\n

All of the discussion (which is going on now) and the voting (which will begin in March) happen over at the Goodreads group here<\/a>, so feel free to go over and join in the conversation and receive details as they emerge.<\/p>\n

Now, here is the list:<\/p>\n

To help you keep track of what you’ve read, I’ve created a handy checklist. You can access it here<\/a>. You won’t be able to edit the main document, but you can save it to your own Google drive (or however you want to do it) and then you can modify at will.<\/p>\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n
