Michelle's recommendations
The Five by Hallie Rubenhold: This is a fascinating historical examination of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper. It is a vivid and intricate portrayal of the social issues in Victorian England.
No Shame by Tom Allen: Delightful memoir from a brilliant comedic mind.
Adventures in Opting Out by Cait Flanders: An alternative self-help novel about how we can walk a new path in our lives, one that others may not expect us to take, written through the lens of hiking.
Caitlin's recommendations:
Love Stories by Trent Dalton: Believe the hype! This is a beautiful, sweet book that will revive your faith in humanity. (Note: Caitlin's work at Harper Collins Australia did not influence her opinion of this book).
488 Rules for Life by Kitty Flanagan: Laugh-out-loud funny and relatable 'rules' for living (and not annoying the hell out of others)
The Office by Andy Greene: A fascinating oral history of the show from its beginnings to massive popularity.
