About Fern:
Fern enjoys horse riding, spending time with her guinea pigs Poe, Pesto and Winston and going out for brunch. She also loves (a little too much?!) showing off her bookcase display and recommending books, BUT don't ask to see her Kindle library... if you know, you know...
After spending many months on book subscription waitlists with no luck and a lot of disappointment, Fern thought "f*ck it, I'll do it myself" and just like that Lilac Library's was born.
Now, Fern enjoys giving the bookish community what it wants and needs whilst collaborating with so many talented artists to design and create new products.
George
Head of Growth
Favorite book genre: Jazz age fiction, Beat fiction, or dystopian fantasy
Book recommendations:
- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

About George:
George has an actual English Lit degree and don't we know it - he'll never stop going on about it. Apart from reading "the classics" he's started dabbling in YA fantasy and he's slowly turning to the dark side...
Aside from being snobby, he enjoys CrossFit (a little too much if you ask us, but we all have our kryptonite…) and makes great 'slutty' brownies. If you want the recipe, send us an email and George will send it your way (but he might ask for your first-born child in return).
