Shortlist Recommendations

We invite you to recommend the Irish books you have most enjoyed reading this year.
These are the books which in your view should appear on the awards shortlists in October. 

Only caveat is that the books must have been published in the current awards year – between November 1st 2024 – November 1st 2025.  

List titles and authors, as many or as few as you like, regardless of genre. We value your opinion and thank you for taking part.

Please offer recommendations for as many titles in as many of these areas as you feel qualified or confident doing so.

Please enter your details below and add any books you would like to see on the shortlists for the 2025 An Post Irish Book Awards – please separate each recommendation with a comma.
