Lauren's Recommendations

EMOTIONAL, MYSTERIOUS & ORNATE
I'm Lauren and I am the Subscription Bookseller at Harry Hartog. I've been a bookseller for 14 years and plan on doing so for forever! I try to read a widely as possible so I have a recommendation for everyone, but I always fall back on my favourites which are literary fiction and sci-fi.
