Staff Picks: Niki Rokicki’s Favorites
Hi readers, my name is Niki and I work as an Associate Managing Editor at PRH for Penguin Workshop. In my role, I help manage editorial, design, production, and all the various team members to create all our marvelous books on schedule! I am romance and rom-com obsessed and also enjoy historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, and honestly, a little bit of everything. I love a book that let’s me escape reality for a bit and if it makes me laugh and cry, that’s a plus. Love to feel all the things! I currently live in New Jersey with family, where I spend most of my days with the family cat who likes to make the occasional appearance on my Instagram. You can find me at @allthebooksivelovedbefore.

Add to BookshelfBringing Down the Duke
by Evie Dunmore
This series is the perfect blend of romance, history, and extraordinary women. The first book holds a special place in my heart and is my favorite of the 3 so far (though, I do love them all).

A Discovery of Witches (Movie Tie-In)
by Deborah Harkness
A great read for spooky season. I won’t lie, I struggled with this book at first. It was a lot of world-building and a lot of setting up the greater series arc, but once the action picked up, I was hooked and truly obsessed. The TV show adaptation is just as addicting! I binge-watched season 1 in a single day.

Know My Name
by Chanel Miller
A deeply moving memoir that gave me so much strength during a difficult time. I found it incredibly healing to read about Chanel’s journey and her life since. She is truly amazing and I’m such a fan of her work, both her writing and her art.

Outlander (Starz Tie-in Edition)
by Diana Gabaldon
I’d never heard of this series until the show premiered years ago. After episode one, I totally bought into the hype. I ran out to buy the first book and read it in 2 days. I did nothing but read! I’m still working my way through this series, but I look forward to picking it back up again every time.
