Trouble syncing books/Audiobooks

I am not able to sync books/audiobooks with my iPhone. When i connect my phone to sync I get this error: "The Books library could not be opened. To fix this, open the Books app." I open the books app and nothing happens. I have an iPhone 14 Pro with 1OS 18.4 and a 2019 MacBook Pro running Sequoia OS 15.4. I have restarted both of them and have logged out and back in to my apple account.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
