Weird, it works for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (system reader library))
scheme@(guile-user)> (make-alternate-guile-reader '(skribe-exp))
$2 = #<reader ff2ce0>
scheme@(guile-user)> (with-input-from-string "[Hello ,(bold [World])!]" $2)
$3 = (Hello (unquote (bold (World))) !)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now, if you really want a reader for the Skribilo syntax, this isn’t
enough.  Instead I recommend using the same approach as (skribilo reader
skribe), which is also what Haunt uses.

HTH!
