We need your support!
Five Books was set up by journalist Sophie Roell and a group of friends, in 2009. Today it is a small team striving to bring you recommendations of the very best books on every subject. We don’t just provide lists, we also conduct in-depth interviews, often in person or via Zoom (and very occasionally via email) to delve deeper into each topic.
Each interview takes a lot of time to put together. We look through the books, think critically about the topic, and then carry out the interview. Afterwards, there’s the transcription and editing, web hosting, design…all of which add up. On average, it costs around $400/£300 to produce each interview, and we publish two to three interviews a week.
To keep this project running and to continue bringing you high-quality interviews and book recommendations, we need your support. So if you enjoy Five Books, please consider making a one-off contribution, or a small regular donation. Even $2/£3 a month from you makes a big difference.
