What SIBA Booksellers have to say:

The Say So by Julia Franks
A smart novel about the true power of our choices. It made me think about my own mother and daughter, and how the act of motherhood is as fundamental as it is complex.
– Ashley Warlick from M Judson, Booksellers in Greenville, SC

All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby
Written in his inimitable style, strong yet compassionate, Cosby gets deep into the heart and soul of his characters and makes them come alive like no one else writing today.
– Pete Mock from McIntyre's Books in Pittsboro, NC

Kiss Me in the Coral Lounge : Intimate Confessions from a Happy Marriage by Helen Ellis
Helen Ellis is back with a collection of essays about my marriage...sorry about her marriage. These hit so close to home on so many levels
– Melissa Taylor from E. Shaver, bookseller in Savannah, GA

You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron
Murder, cults, suspicious locals, and fake blood that isn't looking all that fake these days, will Charity and friends make the final cut? So much bloody fun!
– Kate Towery from Fountain Books in Richmond, VA

Cape by Kevin Johnson, Kitt Thomas (Illus.)
A touching story about grief. Losing someone is never easy and often we never know what to do with those feelings. Cape shows us the beauty of remembering someone we've lost and how through remembrances we can find some peace.
– Keeshia Jacklitch from Bookmarks in Winston-Salem, NC
