Hey lads! I've now finished all of the International Booker Prize shortlist and I thought I'd give you my personal ranking of the books and give a crack at the winner! Whatever prediction I make will be where I invest my money at the relevant gambling sites so I shall now have PERSONAL STAKES. Enjoy, and stay tuned for the winner announcement on May 23!

- Boulder by Eva Baltasar (translated by Julia Sanches)
- The Gospel According to the New World by Maryse Conde (translated by Richard Philcox)
- Standing Heavy by GauZ (translated by Frank Wynne)
- Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov (translated by Angela Rodel)
