The 2022 International Booker Prize

Prior to 2016, the Booker Prize was open only to UK authors, but the addition of the Booker International Prize now helps highlight the works of superb authors and translators from around the world.  The Booker International Prize is awarded annually for a single book, translated into English and published in the UK.  The £50,000 prize, awarded in May, is divided equally between the winning author and the English translator.  Explore this year's short- and long-lists at Brilliant Books.

This is a month to celebrate the diverse people, communities, and stories that fall under the AAPI umbrella.  It's also a great time to look at the media we consume and ask ourselves: what AAPI stories have I been reading recently?

And if you're looking to diversify your bookshelf this spring, explore some of our favorite books by Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Asian authors!  We've got literature, memoirs, poetry, science fiction, and more.

StorefrontHappy National Small Business Week!  There are so many reasons to celebrate small businesses.  To name just a few:

• We're part of a vibrant community, and are invested in local economies & initiatives.
• We encourage employees to play to their strengths and interests, rather than fitting a job description.
• We get to know our customers by name (and reading preference!)

But as much as we love being a small business, it's true: being small has its challenges.

Lately, we've been reflecting on what it means to be a small business that survived the pandemic.  Read our latest article to learn more about how the pandemic is still impacting us, how we're feeling going forward, and how you can continue to support us.
