Getting to Know Your Riverbenders - Maz

How long have you been working at Riverbend Books? 
I started several days before the shop opened - shelving! That was 1998 - 22 years ago. 

And what's your job? 
I work on the shop floor, serving customers and shelving. Sometimes I even pull returns and vacuum.

What do you like best about working at Riverbend? 
I love helping our customers to find books they will enjoy reading. 

What's been your favourite event or story? 
My favourite events/authors have been those with Tim Winton and David Walliams, though the image of the tiny, bubbly Marian Keyes in her stilettos being interviewed by our tall manager is quite unforgettable. 

If we were to come to you for recommendations, what kind of books do you like best?
I try to read over as broad a spectrum as possible so am happy to read just about anything though I’d probably struggle with politics.

Lastly, what are you currently reading?

Hamnet. It’s brilliant!
