COMING UP FOR AIR – TOM DALEY

COMING UP FOR AIR – TOM DALEY

This didn't make quite so much of a splash as I thought it would (sorry). I share my view on Tom Daley's autobiography, where he shares his experience of growing up as an athlete, losing his dad, finding love and fatherhood

THE MULTI-HYPHEN METHOD – EMMA GANNON

It's crazy how technology can become outdated very quickly - much like this book! But not for the reasons you might think... a practical book for anyone wanting more freedom to design a career that works for you

MY BODY – EMILY RATAJKOWSKI

February 10, 2022February 11, 2022by Lizzie BLeave a Comment on MY BODY – EMILY RATAJKOWSKI
MY BODY – EMILY RATAJKOWSKI

An empowering read that requires an open mind, revealing the dark secrets of the modelling industry, abuse of power, and Emily Ratajkowski's own experience making her way up to prove she is more than 'just a pretty face'

PIRANESI – SUSANNA CLARKE

Another baffling book that won the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021 - can someone please tell me what premise I'm missing?!

YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN FUN AROUND HERE – FRANCES MACKEN

I LOVE Irish novels and Frances Macken's debut novel is a great addition: a wholly uplifting, honest and unpredictable novel

THE END OF HER – SHARI LAPENA

January 27, 2022February 16, 2022by Lizzie B1 Comment on THE END OF HER – SHARI LAPENA
THE END OF HER – SHARI LAPENA

A mega change from The Couple Next Door which I read earlier this year... a big YAY from me, great for thriller seekers where you will be kept guessing until the end!

NINE PERFECT STRANGERS – LIANE MORIARTY

January 25, 2022February 17, 2022by Lizzie BLeave a Comment on NINE PERFECT STRANGERS – LIANE MORIARTY
NINE PERFECT STRANGERS – LIANE MORIARTY

A sadly annoying, disjointed novel from Liane Moriarty - keep your expectations low compared to what I did after the success of Big Little Lites

Books

BURNT SUGAR – AVNI DOSHI

January 20, 2022December 23, 2021by Lizzie BLeave a Comment on BURNT SUGAR – AVNI DOSHI
BURNT SUGAR – AVNI DOSHI

A hard slog of a novel full of implicit meaning and a dark storyline of a spiteful relationship between mother and daughter.

I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK – NORA EPHRON

January 18, 2022February 21, 2022by Lizzie BLeave a Comment on I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK – NORA EPHRON
I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK – NORA EPHRON

A witty read by the late Nora Ephron, a successful New York based journalist who reveals her experiences of being a woman which some of us are perhaps a bit too afraid (and ashamed?) to admit. So what if we feel bad about our necks?

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lizzie and welcome to my blog!

When I have the time, I love to travel, eat chocolate, read books, try, test and review products, write, visit charity shops, eat more chocolate, book some more travel and then read some more… (although not necessarily in that order!)

I hope you enjoy this space I’ve created, feel free to give the posts a like and leave a comment! You can even check out my YouTube, Substack and Instagram!
