Vivienne, Digital Marketing Coordinator – Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
This tragicomedy about Greek poetry and prisoners of war in ancient Syracuse captured the office's imagination. It's a masterful exploration of art and brotherhood in the bleakest of moments – up there with my all-time favourites.
Julia, Marketing Coordinator – All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot by Lucinda Price
I was really struck by Lucinda Price's transparency in this memoir about striving to achieve unrealistic beauty expectations, often at the detriment of our health and happiness. There's a lot to recognise and commiserate within these pages.
Gavin, Ticketing Supervisor – A Sunny Place for Shady People by Mariana Enriquez
These haunting short stories set around the suburbs of Buenos Aires are deliciously naughty. Think camp, unexpected and spine-tingling.
Jen, Digital Marketing Manager – The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
I was blown away by the strength of this debut novel. Well-crafted story, beautiful language and some steaminess? I can't wait to pick up whatever Yael publishes next.
Connor, Philanthropy and Partnerships Coordinator – A Language of Limbs by Dylin Hardcastle
Still thinking about A Language of Limbs and its lyrical poetry embedded within a heart-breaking historically real yet vibey display of queer love, loss and discovery.
Sarah, Head of Marketing and Digital – Orbital by Samantha Harvey
I really loved this beautiful, concise and moving book, especially as it's not what I'd typically read because I am usually a plot-based reader.
