As much as I’d love to recreate the perfect image of
curling up in front of the fire with a good book and a hot chocolate, all I
want to do in winter is watch movies. My reading time is spring/summer. For me,
there’s no better way to spend a summer’s day than outside with a book and a
mojito- lemonade, I mean with a lemonade…
1. The
Cursed Child, JK
Rowling. This is not a sequel. I repeat this is NOT a Harry Potter
sequel. JK Rowling can try, but it doesn’t make me any less excited about this
play. (But reading a play is never the same, it’s like reading sheet music
amirite?)
2. Big
Magic, Elizabeth
Gilbert. I’m an Eat Pray
Love gal through and through so I’m dying to know what pieces of wisdom Gilbert
has lined up for us in her latest best seller. This has been out for a while
but better late than never eh?
3. All Too
Human: A Political Education, George
Stephanopoulos. I’m a sucker for a good political book. This
was released in the late 90’s and is a glimpse into the early days of the
Clinton administration, when it was ambitious, hopeful and optimistic. Written
by George, who served as Clinton’s communications director, I’ve heard it’s an
amazing insight into what it’s really like to work with politicians behind the
scenes at the highest level.
4. Cook
Happy, Cook Healthy by Fearne
Cotton is a gem I’ve been waiting for all my life. I am obsessed with
Fearne’s Instagram predominantly for her amazing recipes, some of which I hope
she’ll share with us in this book! It’s due to be published on 2nd
June.
5. My
Life on the Road, Gloria
Steinem. If Emma Watson recommends a book, you read it. This
memoir promises to steal my heart. Gloria Steinem has been through it all, literally,
including the last 2 waves of feminism. I have a feeling this will be one I don’t
put down.
PS, I can’t emphasis enough how this is just a shortlist; I
have a constant list of books to read on my iphone notes! So these really are
the chosen ones.
What do you prefer reading? Non- fiction, novels, memoir,
graphic novels?
What books are on your shortlist right now? I would love to
know!
