Our March Book Club is here! Brew a hot cup of tea and let’s catch up about all things books.
We believe the joy of reading is amplified when shared with others, and that's where our Book Club comes in. Initially starting in our HQ between team members, and we thought you might also like to hear about it. This Book Club is open to anyone who loves to read and wants to share their love of books with others, so welcome.
The following books have been carefully for their diversity in genre, author, and style. We've kept in mind that everyone has different interests and passions, and we’ve got a book for just about all of them!
Let’s get into this month’s top picks...
For the Foodie:
For so many people, cooking and baking is not something they just do each night after work, but a true passion. The creativity and artistry of the culinary world offers a unique outlet for self-expression and experimentation, and for those who love to cook and bake, recipe books are like treasure troves waiting to be explored.
There are so many reasons why people love recipe books. For some, they offer a way to learn new techniques and hone their skills in the kitchen. Others love the challenge of trying new recipes and experimenting with different flavours and ingredients.
From Al Fresco, a guide to all things European food and lifestyle, to Lazy Baking, a guide for easy baking, there’s a cook book just for you, or that special someone you’re looking for a gift for!

For a bit of self-care:
Self-love is a vital component of a healthy and fulfilling life. When you love and accept yourself, you can embrace all aspects of your life with greater confidence, self-care is about recognising your inner worth and treating yourself with kindness and respect, always.
Our favourite books inspiring more self-care are In This Body and Take Care. We've got so many gorgeous lifestyle books in store and online! See some of our other lifestyle books here.
FOR THE COFFEE TABLE BOOK LOVER:
Coffee table books are a staple when it comes to home decor and a great way to add style and sophistication to any living space! These books are filled with stunning images and inspiring information on so many topics, from art, fashion, photography, travel and lifestyle.
The beauty of a coffee table book is that they're not only decorative but also informative and engaging. They offer a glimpse into different cultures, lifestyles and interests, allowing you to learn and discover new things without leaving the comfort of your home.
Currently we're obsessed with Chloe Catwalk and Scandi Rustic, but if these aren't for you, don't worry, we have so many more to explore here.
FOR THE COCKTAIL LOVER:
We love a cheeky cocktail with friends after a long day at work, or to celebrate a special occasion over the weekend. With endless possibilities of drink recipes and flavours, there’s always a new cocktail to try, and what better way to do that than with one of our favourite cocktail recipe books!?
Whether you prefer classic drinks like a Martini, Margarita or something a bit more creative, there’s a recipe out there for any taste.
These books make the perfect gift and are guaranteed to bring a bit of fun to the party!
We’re loving Prosecco Is Always The Answer and Gin Tonica, but there’s so many other wonderful drink books to explore!
FOR THE LITTLE ONES:
Children's books play an essential role in a child's development, helping to shape their imagination, language skills, and understanding of the amazing world around them. From classic fairy tales to modern picture books, children's literature has a long history of providing young readers with valuable life lessons and knowledge.
Well, there you have it! Our round-up of top picks to add to your bookshelf or to gift to a friend, family member or colleague.

With love,
