Dua Lipa‘s March pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter. The novel tells the story of a young family devastated by grief when the boys’ mother suddenly dies. As the weight of their grief threatens to sink then, a human-sized cow arrives on their doorstep and moves in, announcing that he will stay there until they no longer need him. Is the giant talking cow real or a figment of their imagination? That’s the question that carries through the book but, by the end, it barely matters. Dua said: “Ever so occasionally, you pick up a book and it spins you around and turns you upside down. This is one of those books.”

Dua Lipa‘s March pick for her Service95 book club is ‘There There‘ by Tommy Orange. The novel follows twelve characters from Native communities, all travelling to the Big Oakland Powwow, who are all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realise. Dua said Orange “starts with a brief but sharp history lesson in the prologue of ‘There There,’ dispelling 400 years of slurs and stereotypes against Native people in 10 fiery pages — almost too painful to bear, but essential to start his story.”

Dua Lipa‘s February pick for her Service95 book club is ‘The Bee Sting‘ by Paul Murray. The novel is a family saga set in modern Ireland, following the Barnes family: mother Imelda, father Dickie, 18-year-old Cass, and 12-year-old PJ. Following a series of miscommunications, this seemingly normal family misfires at every turn until they become isolated from the small community they live in as well as each other. Dua called ‘The Bee Sting’ a “masterclass in building tension” and said Murray “nails the loneliness of childhood and teenage years,” in addition to “the ways in which acting normal on the surface can conceal the darkest of secrets.”

In her Service95 January newsletter, Dua Lipa shared how she gets through the month.
By now, most of us are probably back to the grind, doing our best to stick to any New Year’s resolutions. After indulging in all the food and wine in December, I like to jump back into my routine as quickly as possible.
Staying on top of my health is super important, especially since I’m on a break between touring. So, if you’re also going through a busy period, here are six ways I stay healthy and active while navigating a hectic lifestyle…
1. Take Glutathione Supplements – I have this daily; it’s a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your body from cellular damage and good for the immune system.
2. Have An Ice Bath – There’s nothing like a cold plunge to wake you up – the cold takes some getting used to, but it makes you feel amazing.
3. Use A Theragun Regularly – When I’m on the road, my massage gun is my best friend. It’s brilliant for muscle recovery and preventing injury.
4. Have Morning Ginger Shots – The best way to kickstart the day and give yourself another immunity boost.
5. Head To The Sauna – They’re great for detoxifying, but I also love a sauna for helping me to de-stress and unwind.
6. Do Some Pilates – It strengthens your core, improves posture, and helps flexibility… the benefits are endless. Plus, I just absolutely love it.

Dua Lipa‘s January pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead‘ by Olga Tokarczuk. This genre-defying, darkly humorous, and deadly serious novel is a crime story that extends beyond a mere whodunnit. When a local hunter on a remote Polish plateau chokes on a deer bone one winter evening, his death is shocking but easily explained. But when other members of the local hunting fraternity start showing up dead, things start to get weird. Dua said she loved the protagonist’s “opinionated and eccentric protagonist whose fixations on the radical 18th century poet William Blake, rights of animals, and the use of astrology to solve crimes takes this book in unexpected directions at every turn.”
