You can see the full list here and in the mean time, you can browse our shelves for the following nominees, in stock now:

Bring Up The Bodies, by Hilary Mantel, is the sequel to the 2009 winner, Wolf Hall.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce is a book about an unhappily married man on a trip to see a dying friend.
