Meet Elizabeth, our newest Bookmonger specialist and bookseller! Swipe to get to know her 👉
About Elizabeth: A lifelong reader who tried to read books before she even knew how! Degrees in English Lit and Creative Writing, published poet, and living her dream job here at The Bookmonger. 📚 🍷 🧀
Favourite genres: Greek mythology, literary fiction and weird girl lit fic, with some romance and fantasy/sci-fi.
Her stack of recommendations: The Neapolitan Quartet is a must (it’s why she now spends her summers in the Gulf of Naples!), and Catching Fire has been her favourite since she was 10. It only gets better with age.
Also in her stack: Book Lovers by Emily Henry, One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune, There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak, The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Heart the Lover by Lily King, Circe by Madeline Miller and Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell.
Book & W**e Pairing: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas with our oaked Heraclio Alfaro Crianza Rioja 2022. Dark, stormy and moody, just like Throne of Glass 🍷
Her Last five-star read: Mestra by Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles. “If she writes it, I’m reading it!”
Up next on her TBR: Land by Maggie O'Farrell, one of her favourite authors. She also couldn't resist a signed copy of Taipei Story by R.F. Kuang, so it went straight to the top of her list.
We’re so lucky to have Elizabeth on the team, bringing her passion for reading and her hospitality experience. Pop in to say hi 👋 and give her a warm welcome!
