A tribute to our @surired, who after over ten years at Time Out is heading off to work in the world of law. Suri has been an incredibly passionate bookseller and delightful, hardworking colleague. She is well loved by our team and customers, but has also been recognised in the wider book industry including being a long time @95bfm_breakfast reviewer, receiving the award for 2019 NZ Young Bookseller of the Year and a 2020 Baltimore Winter Institute scholarship. We will greatly miss having her on the shop floor, but know she will be coming in regularly to chat books on the other side of the counter. 💥💫💐
