Damla

Architect turned bookseller, Damla has worked at the ABC in the Hague and Leidschendam stores since June 2024. She is the buyer for the Foreign Languages and the New York Times Bestsellers sections.

Her love of reading started at a very young age with sneaky peeks at her sister’s diary, and since then has evolved into more of an obsession rather than a hobby. She has been known to happily read anything and everything she can get her hands on regardless of the genre.

When forced to disconnect from whichever book-world she is currently engrossed in, she enjoys traveling, learning languages, petting dogs, drinking too much coffee, gaming, introducing herself in the third person and trying to pronounce the Dutch G sound (still working on this last one).

She also has a book-related Instagram account where she posts all things bookish. (https://www.instagram.com/travelling_bookworm/)
