- One Day by David Nicholls. Along with the middle aged women of the UK, I loved this story, nothing else has covered the reality of life and relationships like this book. It's one of few times I've finished a book and felt nothing but loss at the end of a journey. Hilarious and moving.
- The 7 habits of highly effective people by Steve Covey. Always been a little sceptical to 'self help' books (I can help myself mofucka!), but this book clicked. The concepts of emotional bank accounts, not being that gossip, having a goal etc are common sense when looked back on, but making a habit of these is essential to a fulfilling life.. in my opinion of course.
- Starter for Ten by David Nicholls. Nothing makes me laugh out loud, not even old women falling down stairs and yet this book had me trying to stop myself. Genuinely funny and relevant, another great book from David Nicholls.
- The Reader. Google the author (meet me halfway here!), a classic book turned into an equally special film. I couldn't put this book down, desperate to point it out to everyone I came across, during and the weeks following. The uncertainty and insecurity of relationships is portrayed so well here. Sadly the book switches focus completely in the final two-thirds but it's a page turner and real moving.
So what's got you hooked? (haven't posted for a while, was tempted to post in the welcome section
