Today's news of literary awards and honors is a mix of the formal and informal.

  • See which six books and authors made it down to the 2025 Booker Prize shortlist (The Guardian).

  • Avid reader (and writer) Alyssa Morris shares the results of her research into the books that have become "BookTok canon" (Romancing the Phone). 

  • In the wake of a 2010 piece that declared that picture books were dying — and in the wake of their own parenting journey — Dan Lois and Rebecca Onion set out to create a list of the twenty-five greatest picture books of the past quarter century (Slate).

  • Writer Cyrée Jarelle Johnson is the first-ever winner of the Kenny Fries Disabled Writer Literary Award, a prize that was just launched by the titular poet and memoirist (Literary Hub).
