Hi everyone! Here is the last exec book recommendation of the term!

Barbra Kingsolver is one of my favourite authors, and Poisonwood Bible is my favourite book! The novel is a political allegory about Western guilt revolving African tragedies told through the perspective of a missionary family.

Thank you for following along with my takeover today!

Hey guys, it’s Isabelle! I highly recommend reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It’s a novel about 6 students who study Ancient Greek in University. This book exudes far academia, deception, wealth, friendships and dark relationships. Donna Tartt’s writing is unmatched in this novel!

Hey guys! It’s Abby ☺️ I’m posting about a book I read earlier this year that made me change my perspective on a lot of things! “The Midnight Library” had such an impact on me, mentally. It honestly made me feel so inspired about all of the opportunities in my own life. I definitely recommend it!

Hey everyone! Tanya here with a book recommendation 🥳 “Normal People” by Sally Rooney was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. Rooney strays away from the usual conventions of writing (no speech marks for dialogue, no heavy descriptions of characters). The result is something raw, beautiful and harrowing, capturing the pain and loss of first love, what we hold on to despite all caution and reason, and how the people around us truly change us, for better or worse. It was an empathetic and cathartic read, and a story that I will remember for a long time.

P.S. feeling lazy? They’ve made a TV adaptation of the novel that’s equally amazing, 5 ⭐️ from me!!

Hey everyone!! I read Verity a couple months ago and I found myself so enraptured by it. I needed to know more and as a thriller, it was different from Colleen Hoovers usual book. 5/5 stars and I definitely recommend!!!!

📚EXEC BOOK REC IS BACK!📚

I dont know if I have a favourite book, but this is the book I am currently reading! It is about the "politics of politics" and the inner-workings of governmental affairs. I really enjoy non-fiction books so if you have any recommendations, comment below!

Thanks for following along with my takeover today, check back next Wednesday for our next Exec Introduction and Exec Book Rec!
