What SIBA Booksellers have to say:

Women! In! Peril! by Jessie Ren Marshall
I'm happy to report that Women! In! Peril! lives up to its obsession-worthy title and cover. This short story debut is full of smart, fresh fiction that I wanted to savor.
– Julia Lewis from Fountain Bookstore, Richmond, Virginia

Colton Gentry's Third Act by Jeff Zentner
I loved this story about second (and third) chances and rekindled young love in a small southern town. Themes of alcohol addiction and commentary on American gun violence give COLTON GENTRY’S THIRD ACT depth that would make this romance a fabulous book club selection.
– Jessica Nock from Main Street Books, Davidson, North Carolina

A Really Strange and Wonderful Time : The Chapel Hill Music Scene: 1989-1999 by Tom Maxwell
An illustration of how indie music created a magical Third Place...An eloquent honoring of a place and time where indie rock was paramount and the community was passionate for it.
– Jamie Fiocco from Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang
It's actually unfair how good this book is. Kuang seamlessly weaves together grief, trauma, and hope in a way that cracked me open.
– Gaby Iori from Epilogue Books Chocolate Brews, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The Husbands by Holly Gramazio
A wonderful romp of a debut novel.Every page is both fun and funny and the suspense for how she’ll finalize things will keep you reading.
– Josh Niesse from Underground Books, Carrollton, Georgia
