Ester was one of the booksellers at our The Hague store between 2007 and 2023. In that time, she was the buyer for many sections; most recently the Philosophy and Law & True Crime sections.
When Ester isn’t working, she reads, plays video games, watches all kinds of detective series, draws, and looks after her dog, Puk. She used to read mostly general fiction, but has gotten hooked on SFF and romantic fiction. Her all-time favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
