Meet Rish
Introducing our BBC curator for this spring, Rish. Not only is Rish a full-time speech therapist, she is also a book club founder with a passion for creating spaces that promote meaningful conversations .
“I always wanted to join a book club, but when I couldn’t find one, I started my own—to make friends and have meaningful connections along the way! All over a delightful read, of course.”
Rish's Top 3 Favourite Books:
“I still remember being gifted The Witches by Roald Dahl by my father; that was the beginning of my love for books.”
Things I Like Other Than Reading:
“I love learning new recipes and baking delicious desserts. I’ve also recently taken up watercolor painting as a form of self-care.”
We are so excited to have Rish here with us to help pick our Spring book for 2025. Stay tuned because future book club activities are coming sooner than you think!
If you are curious in branching out and meeting more book lovers, check out Rish's Book Club, especially if you are based or visiting Kuala Lumpur. Rish's Book Club is filled with in-person meet ups around KL and thought provoking conversation prompts and discussions.
Our Spring'25 Book
Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
Rish's Pick - "Why I Chose This Book"
“Through candid stories, Alderton reflects on her own experiences with relationships, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The book isn't just about romantic love—it also dives into the deep, transformative connections we have with friends, the challenges of adulthood, and learning to embrace the messy, unpredictable journey of life. It's raw, full of humor and wisdom about what it means to love and be loved”.
Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love is a beautifully written memoir that explores relationships, self-discovery, and the highs and lows of adulthood.
The book is filled with humour and honesty and as Rish said, it's profoundness lies in how the inevitable messiness of adulthood is captured in such as relatable, but beautiful way.
Whether you’ve read it before or are picking it up for the first time, this book promises to be a conversation starter, filled with moments that will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear.
Dolly Alderton’s book is also not only a Sunday Times Best Seller holding multiple awards but it has also inspired a BBC TV show that you can binge this weekend with your friends over sheet masks and skin food desserts.
