“I've just started reading Coco Mellors' Blue Sisters (which I received as a birthday gift), and I'm already hooked by her writing style and the way she captures the essence of sisterhood. I’m really enjoying it so far!”

Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier (Hardback)
£18.99
Elizabeth | Editorial Assistant
“I've been on a really strong reading wave recently reading a number of four and five star books (including Emma’s recommendation, ‘Butter’!). My newest read is a look at Glossier’s founder Emily Weiss’ career. As a longtime fan of the beauty brand, it’s been really interesting to learn more about Glossier’s beginnings.”

"A Japanese cult bestseller, this novel tells the gripping story of a con woman turned serial killer, who lures and murders men through her cooking. It delves into the impossible beauty standards imposed on women. The author’s writing style, reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, masterfully captures the exquisite details of mundane everyday life and explores how the pleasure of eating can transform into a chilling obsession."
Laura | Co-Founder
“This may not be the most exciting read, but I’ve found it so interesting. After a recent health scare, I discovered the author through Dr. Chatterjee’s podcast, ‘Live Better Live Longer,’ which discusses the health and immune system benefits of various foods. This isn’t a book about dieting, but rather helps me think about the long term benefits of what I’m eating. I recommend keeping this book in your kitchen as a reminder of different beneficial ingredients.”

“This isn’t as judgemental as it sounds… I heard it recommended in a business podcast as one of the books everyone should read. It dives into the four types of human behaviour. It’s been entertaining speaking to friends and family about it to see which category we all fall into!”

"If you're looking for a book that offers great escapism, I recommend getting lost in this Sarah J. Maas series. With intricate world-building and a romantic subplot, it's everything I'm looking for in a holiday read and will provide great escapism for a long commute. It was a bit tricky to get my head around the characters at first, but stick with this series because the second book has been my favourite so far."
