BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
A raucously funny Asian-American novel that won the most recent International 3-Day Novel Contest. It's three months until the wedding, and Samantha's Taiwanese parents still disapprove of her hopelessly white fiance. Meanwhile, Sam's food-obsessed sister, Daisy, is on the hunt for a mysterious take-out truck whose dishes are to die for. Terroryaki! is a tale of love, family, redemption, and the best?if slightly cursed?dish of chicken teriyaki to be found.
The International 3-Day Novel Contest is a notorious rite of passage for writers that has taken place every Labour Day Weekend since 1977. The 34rd annual contest will take place September 3-5, 2011; for more information, contact 3-Day Novel.
