Today, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance announced the finalists in this year's SIBA Book Awards. I've read a handful of these and am pleased to see that some of ones I voted for (ahem...Eli the Good by Silas House!) made it to the final round.
Winners will be chosen by a jury of SIBA booksellers and announced at the fall trade show in September.

GREAT NEWS: I'm heading to Winter Institute!
Thanks to a generous scholarship, I'll be attending ABA's Winter Institute 5 in San Jose, California in early February 2010. The ABA Emerging Leaders Program paired with Ingram Book Company to present eight scholarships to various "emerging leaders" in the bookselling world.
Though there are lots of education opportunities for booksellers throughout the year (Book Expo America and regional trade shows, such as the one I attended in September, come to mind), Winter Institute is more focused on bookseller education and networking. I'm eager to meet many of the folks I've communicated with online and to reunite with some friends I've met over the past many months.
Rest assured I'll report back to you about Wi5, my impressions of San Jose, and more.
Thanks to the friends who've already congratulated me on this scholarship--I'm humbled and quite elated.
