Ever wondered what’s on our bookshelves? Getting to know someone through their favorite reads is quite fun. I got this idea from a podcast where the host always closed with the question: What book are you loving lately? So, I brought that same question to the team at Apex.
And well, we’ve got quite the mix! You’ll find us diving into all kinds of books—some recent reads, a few timeless favourites, from captivating novels to thought-provoking nonfiction, and some professional reads. Each book tells a little story of what inspires us.
Get to know us better — and you might find your next favorite read, too!
