The British Book Awards, aka The Nibbies, is a celebration of books: it affirms, connects and energises the world of reading by showcasing the authors and illustrators who have stirred our hearts and imaginations, and the industry behind the scenes who have brought them to readers. Above all it celebrates the intimate connection between the books, their makers and their audience. 

 This year’s Fiction shortlist features new novels from a Booker Prize winner and a Women’s Prize for Fiction victor, with settings ranging from Ancient Greece to Renaissance Italy to contemporary London—and an alternative Oxford. All titles benefited from standout jackets and inventive campaigns, both online and in the real world.
