What We're Reading: June 2023

If you're looking for the Holtsee Girls you'll probably find them curled up somewhere with a good book and a hot cuppa. Here's our top picks for books we've been reading and loving lately! 

Happy Place by Emily Henry

Emily Henry is the new no.1 when it comes to romance, and Happy Place is no exception! But this is more than a cheesy rom-com, it's a book about love, friendship, second-chances and the people and places our hearts call home.

The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding by Holly Ringland

This is a story about sisters, family and a journey through grief. Beautifully written, Holly Ringland intertwines nature and a bit of mystique in this powerful story of healing. 

 The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

This is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel about good people who make bad decisions. This story is intense and gripping and will have you thinking on your own morals. An incredible debut by an Aussie author! 

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

If there's one word to describe this book it has to be addictive. Yellowface is fast-paced, satirical, intriguing and will have you thinking about it long after you have finished it. An incredible story about plagiarism and the publishing industry.
