What SIBA Booksellers have to say:

Every Day I Read: 53 Ways to Get Closer to Books by Hwang Bo-reum, Shanna Tan (trans.)
This book is an absolute love letter to reading. It's a perfect collection for anyone who has ever found comfort in a story, whether you're a lifelong bibliophile or just looking to reconnect with the joy of reading.
–Kimberly Todd, Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi

Everyone in the Group Chat Dies by L.M. Chilton
The hilarious narration from protagonist Kirby is just as entertaining as the mystery itself. It's like Chilton can't help but write fabulous and unfortunate characters you're bound to fall in love with!
– Ginger Young, Wordsworth Books in Little Rock, Arkansas

House of Day, House of Night by Olga Tokarczuk, Antonia Lloyd-Jones (trans.)
Tokarczuk's brilliant prose highlights the struggles of returning to a post-World War Poland, of feeling like a stranger in your own home, of sensing the ceaseless draw of entropy. Universal and bittersweet, this novel is a work of anthropology.
– Catherine Pabalate, Epilogue Books Chocolate Brews in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The Book of Luke by Lovell Holder
Not only has Lovell Holder crafted the most delightful redemption stories, he also managed to intrigue me with the innerworkings of reality competition shows. So many secrets come out, and so many lives are changed. Read this book!
– Thomas Wallace, Reading Rock Books in Dickson, Tennessee

Sparks Fly by Zakiya N. Jamal
A late bloomer romance where 1) they meet at a sex club 2) the plot critiques use of genAi in entertainment & news 3) the friendships get plenty of attention outside of the romance plot I ate this debut adult romance right up.
– Alex Reinhart, Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
