What is "Genre Buzz"?

One of the most important goals of NVNR 2023 is title discovery. That is the purpose of "Genre Buzz": a new kind of event driven by booksellers and focused on the discussions of new books in sixteen different genres.

Genre Buzz conversations will be held on Wednesday, August 9 at 11 AM, and will be led by bookseller moderators from SIBA and NAIBA who are well versed in their particular genre topic. Genre Buzz is for booksellers who love the genre to exchange ideas and share what they know. Each genre buzz topic comes with a list of up to 100 books which moderators will use to guide the conversation. Many of the books will be found in the exhibit hall or in the virtual galley room.
