The Land and its People by @davidsedarisbooks

The Land and Its People is a witty and thoughtful collection of essays in which David Sedaris reflects on travel, family, friendship, and aging with his trademark humour and sharp observations. Beneath the laugh-out-loud moments lies a surprisingly moving exploration of loss, connection, and finding wonder in everyday life. A funny, insightful, and deeply human read.

Indy’s Bookshelf Confession

If you know Indy, you know her shelves are usually packed with fantasy, sci-fi, YA and middle grade adventures. Crime fiction? Not so much.

So imagine our surprise when The Ending Writes Itself found its way into her hands... and she loved it.

The twist? "Evelyn Clarke" is actually @veschwab in disguise, one of Indy’s all-time favourite authors. Turns out even the most dedicated fantasy reader can be lured into unfamiliar territory when a beloved author is involved.

Will we be spotting more crime novels on Indy’s shelf anytime soon? Probably not. But this one definitely earned its place.

Have you ever read outside your usual genre because of a favourite author? What`s your bookshop confession?
