Staff Recommendations

Our passionate booksellers share their current favorites and why these books captured their hearts.

Sarah Williams

This book completely changed my perspective on memory and identity. Haig's writing is both philosophical and deeply moving. I found myself staying up late, unable to put it down, and then wanting to start over immediately after finishing.

Michael Chen

As someone fascinated by neuroscience, I was blown away by how Chen makes complex concepts accessible without dumbing them down. It's rare to find a book that's both scientifically rigorous and beautifully written.

Emma Thompson

Rodriguez has created a atmospheric masterpiece that had me guessing until the very end. The way she weaves family drama with mystery is brilliant. Perfect for fans of gothic fiction and psychological thrillers.
