Meet your hosts

Domonique Shelton

Domonique came to Edinburgh as a student and never left, loving the community spirit and cultural vibes. Tech guru, volunteer and keen runner, she loves to read but needs a little helping hand to get through the book stack. That's where RBC comes in.

Top RBC non-fiction recommendations:

Tough Women - Jenny Tough

Four Thousand Weeks - Oliver Burkeman

Doughnut Economics - Kate Raworth

Meet your hosts

Bryn Sherwood

Longtime RBC member and globetrotter, Bryn now wants to bring Rebel Book Club to his new found home. Balancing a love of the great outdoors, his springer spaniel and proper whiskey (alongside all-important books of course), he's looking forward to growing the non-fiction community in Scotland.

Biggest RBC learning: "So many to choose from. It has helped me inform my world view about universal basic income, reducing plastic, becoming vegetarian and designing your life to name just a few!"

Top non-fiction recommendations:

Anti Fragile by Nassim Nicolas Taleb

Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman

Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett
