Friday Staff Spotlight!
This week we have Mollie 😎🎍

Mollie isn't a big reader. What she lacks in quantity though she makes up in quality!

Her first book is a steamy cat-and-mouse romance. For fans of 50 Shades of Grey or Anna Todd, this author is for you!

If you use the internet at all, you've probably heard something about the ACOTAR series. Written by Sarah J. Maas, the series is a steamy fantasy adventure spanning magical lands. Mollie has recommended book 3 but all 5 books are well worth your time.

Her final recommendation is a thriller that delves into the secrets that can hide in a seemingly perfect marriage. A wife disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary, and all eyes look to her husband for answers. But is he really involved? Follow the clues and decide for yourself πŸ”Ž

A mixture of Suspense and Spice this week, what will you choose?

Friday Staff Spotlight!
This week we have Helen πŸ±πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‚

Helen enjoys powerful stories of resilience and personal connection. Her three choices share themes of memory, identity and the strength of women's voices.

The Keeper of Hidden Books is inspired by the true story of an underground library in WW11 Warsaw and follows a young girl as she tries to protect her friend and her books during the N**i occupation.

A Mother's Story is a deeply moving memoir from an Australian domestic violence crusader. After a violent tragedy she has travelled Australia speaking out about domestic violence, winning hearts and minds with her compassion and grace.

Where the Birds Call Her Name is about the secrets that can hide in a seemingly normal family, and how you may love someone but not really know them. Saskia and her daughter follow clues left by Saskia's mother that lead them to a small town in Tasmania, and a painful family secret.

Find your strength by listening to the voices in these stories ⚑

Friday Staff Spotlight!
This week we have Sarah πŸƒπŸͺ΄
Sarah has a deep love for nature and the great outdoors. If she's not reading a book about plants or animals, you'll find her outside exploring!
Her book choices this week reflect that:
The Vaster Wilds, a fictional novel about a young girl alone in the wilderness just trying to survive.
The Serviceberry, a non-fiction book that explores gift economy, and what plants can teach us about living with the world.
Under The Hornbeams, a non-fiction memoir about the author's friendship with two men experiencing homelessness in London and their daily struggles and triumphs as they defy society's expectations and forge their own path.

Pick up a book and discover more about the world around you today!
