However, overall, this list seems to roughly mirror the bestseller list, which is largely influenced by budget size. For a more diverse selection, be sure to check out this roundup of October’s notable BIPOC books. They range from the dystopian The Guardian and the Thief by Megha Majumdar, which was nominated for a National Book Award, to the equally award-nominated tale of an artist trying to make it in New York City, Minor Black Figures by Brandon Taylor. There’s also Tasha Suri’s sapphic fantasy of knights and witches, The Isle in the Silver Sea, and Jaquila Diaz’s This Is the Only Kingdom, a generational tale set in the barrios of Puerto Rico.
Some of the most popular books we checked out at Libby last month include Friendship with a Giant Octopus, a mystery that follows a midwife in Maine in 1789, and Percival Everett’s 2024 multi-award-winning satire.
