Here’s What’s On The Style Team’s Summer Holiday Reading Hit List
sunkissed stories
If there’s one thing I can tell you about the vibe of the office here at Style Magazines, it’s that we are a collection of bookworms – always abuzz with book recco exchanges, gossip about new releases, and the rediscovery of old favourites. And, you know what summer holidays mean, more time to kick back, lounge in the sun (or air-con) and read, baby, read!
So, before we shut up shop for the year, here are the books that will be on our summertime reading hit list, plus a little insight into our book taste, just for good measure.
Here is your comprehensive guide to what the Style Team will be reading this holiday season.
Bianca, Deputy Digital Editor
Here book taste: Bianca is a sucker for addictive thrillers, guilty-pleasure romance, and beach reads that’ll keep her in the sun for too long.
Natalie, Deputy Print Editor
Her book taste: Nat loves anything that’ll make her cry, a generational family drama, a crazy memoir, and a splash of romance to cleanse the palate every now and then.
Vic, Digital Content Creator
Her book taste: A closeted science nerd, Vic enjoys relaxing with hard-hitting anthologies, real-life stories, and political thought pieces. But she can also dabble in a love-related tale every once in a while.
Tahlia, Content Creator/ Journalist
Her book taste: Tahlia gravitates towards dystopian fantasy with dark worlds, high stakes, and a bit of grit. She’s sick of the smut; if there’s too much romance driving the plot, she is out. She wants tension, power struggles, and immersive world-building instead.
Grace, Senior Graphic Designer
Her book taste: Grace likes a bit of escapist speculative fiction that’s nostalgic, visually vivid, and emotionally grounded. Basically, stories that feel fun to read but still say something of substance.
Cali, Creative Assistant
Her book taste: Bound by fashion fluency and romantic longing, Cali’s book taste lives somewhere between couture memoir and emotional reawakening. She loves a good range of true romance, modern fantasy, and, of course, a whole lot of yearning.
Valentina, Senior Account Manager
Her book taste: Val loves murder mysteries, romance novels, and stories rooted in real life. They’re her escape – each one pulling her into another world while still feeling honest and human.
