Tricia's Recommendations

DARK, ADVENTUROUS & REFLECTIVE

All I ever wanted to do from a young age was be surrounded by books. The local library or scouring my grandmas bookshelves were my favourite places to be. I've been a Burnside Village Harry Hartog Bookseller since it opened in 2018, but before that I was a librarian. I’ve always been a multi-genre reader, with my main focus being women authors. I enjoy reading about women’s history and cultural studies, blending in all the fictional genres especially if there’s vampires or witches involved. I think UK Historical Fiction is my favourite with Stacey Halls and Jenni Fagan being my go to authors.
