Book of the Month

There's something so soothing about following a river ; Aitken follows 7 ! If you enjoy being immersed in a book, this one is for you - it's a comforting mix of travelogue, cultural commentary, reflection. Written by a Scotsman with a love of spontaneity & an eye for detail.

To tell you a secret, I'm not a reader. But when Sonya interviewed me, she found out the type of stories I like. Then she sent me a book & I thought lets try the book she sent me & it turned out really nice. I'd advise you guys, go check out Sonya's Book Box.

I used to read quite a bit & would love to get back into that habit I just don't have the time to look through lots of books and figure what it is that I would like to read. I got intrigued by Sonya's Book Box. Somebody pays attention to what you like, the kind of person you are, the kind of headspace you have & accordingly curates book for you. Its a gift for yourself. I am really glad I signed up for Sonya's Book Box.
