Sarah Jessica Parker Reads Two Books Daily as Booker Prize Judge

Sarah Jessica Parker is preparing for her role as a judge for the 2025 Booker Prize by reading up to two books a day, dedicating significant time each day to this intense task. The 60-year-old actress, known for Sex and the City and And Just Like That…, shared that her current schedule allows her to read from morning till night, a commitment she couldn’t make last year due to filming. Parker’s passion for reading began in childhood, inspired by her mother who fostered a love of books in the family, a tradition Parker has passed on to her own children. She also launched her own book imprint, SJP for Hogarth, focusing on publishing stories from underrepresented voices. While some social media users expressed skepticism about how she manages to read so much, others applauded her dedication and literary commitment. Parker feels honored to be part of the five-member judging panel, which includes authors, critics, and other public figures, and plans to continue reading intensively until the winner is announced.
