"I've been immersed in Send Nudes by Saba Sams this month. It's a collection of ten stories that delve deep into the realm of girlhood, navigating its intricate complexities. What struck me the most were the paradoxes portrayed – the struggle of growing up too fast while constantly trying to catch up, the battle to claim agency while facing external influences, and the constant push-and-pull between conforming to societal norms and defying them. Sams brilliantly encapsulates these conflicting themes within each story, making it a thought-provoking and deeply engaging read." - Andrea, Marketing & PR Manager

“This month I absolutely devoured The Immortalists By Chloe Benjamin. This was my tube book for a week, for the first time ever, I couldn't wait to get on the tube just to read it! It follows 4 siblings in who in 1960's New York, learn the date of their deaths from a psychic. It then follows each sibling throughout their lives, asking the question of did they live their lives best knowing their time was long or fleeting. It was so beautiful and captivating, I cried on the tube (very embarrassing, and if you saw me, umm no you didn't). 10/10!" - Holly, eCommerce & Digital Manager

"Recently, I delved into Why Love Matters, and it truly struck a chord with me. It's not just about parenting; it delves into the profound impact of relationships on personal development. What fascinated me most was how it went beyond the parental scope, shining a light on how relationships in general shape our growth. The book offers universal insights into the intricate connections between relationships and our overall well-being, making it a compelling read for a wider audience." - Nina, Founder & CEO

"I'm currently engrossed in Pachinko, and I can't put it down! The book dives into the multigenerational saga of a Korean family thrust into Japan during Korea's colonization. It's an incredible journey across four generations, showcasing the family's trials and tribulations. The story is deeply moving, capturing the struggles, dreams, and resilience of each member. The historical backdrop and intricate family dynamics make it a compelling read, and I'm eager to see how it ends!" - Pao Ramos, Marketing & PR Coordinator

"I absolutely loved reading El Mundo de Sofia (Translated: The World of Sofia) this month and was completely drawn into Sofia's journey. It's a fascinating exploration of self-discovery intertwined with the journey of Philosophy, or 'FiloSofia' as it's called in Spanish. This book quickly became my favorite read, offering an intriguing narrative that weaves Sofia's experiences with profound philosophical exploration. It's captivating, thought-provoking, and an absolute must-read!" - Fernanda, Brand Partnerships Manager
