Aka Dua Lipa’s reading list. Everyone’s fave popstar on permanent holiday with a massive list of books to read, and she always seems to have incredible recommendations.

I am not part of Service95 or affiliated with Dua Lipa. I am just a fan curating this list based on the @service95bookclub IG account 💋

Books by Italian authors (or authors who have substantially lived in Italy and can write it very well) translated into English that are usually set in Italy.

Suggestions welcome ☺️🫶

Books that aren't set in the US or UK, as those books dominate reading lists. I'm trying to collect as many different countries as possible, but sometimes there will be 2-3 books from one country.
