All-Time Favourites
This is a new novel by an Irish writer about an Irish girl who moves abroad. I'm super excited to read it.
A timeless classic. I began reading these book in the Irish language when I was at primary school which was way too difficult and really put me off. I decided to try again just under a year ago and finished the series in 6 or 7 months. I fell in love. I am now a Potterhead. I love Dobby with my whole heart and I know I will read the whole series again very soon. I will also 100 per cent read these books to my children one day.
I'm currently listening to this as an audio book and really enjoying it. I will post a better review when I finish it.
We all know I am Disney obsessed, and this book was so exciting to read. I loved having an insight into the mind of the man who is currently in charge of my favourite company. I devoured this book in two week! (which for me is very quickly)
Child psychology has always been something I am very interested in. And now that I work at a Montessori, I am super interested in the best ways to raise tiny humans.
I have realised recently that Sci-Fi and fantasy is my thing. This trilogy might be one of my favourite book series ever. I am so invested in the characters and just want more and more. You can find my YouTube review in my blog section.
Such a beautiful story. I have seen the film of this book and now I a reading it and it's just so heartwarming.
The Queen of everything, JVN, inspiring people everywhere. This book actually hit me in a way I was not expecting. JVN has had a lot happen in his life before Queer Eye and he goes into beautiful detail in this memoir. Both uplifting and upsetting and written in a gorgeous very 'Jonathan' way. I loved it.
This was a fun read as I always like a good biography, but I couldn't really relate to Dolly in ways I knew some of my friends might. (Full review on YouTube)
I am a big fan of Matt Haig, his books on mental health have truly helped me to survive. This novel is super easy to read and a lovely story that makes you appreciate life a little more.
Not my favourite book, I found It very difficult to warm to the main charachter in the book and found myself waiting for the book to get better. You can find my full review in my blog section.
I am a big fan of Jojo Moyes, I think I have read almost all of her books and this was her most recent release so I had to read it. I listened to it as an audio book and really enjoyed it. I love the way Moyes creates really indepth characters that I become really invested in. This was a little different that what I would usually read as it was set in the cowboy era, which took me a little getting used to, but once I did I was entralled.
As soon as I found out Tom Hanks was releasing a series of short stories I pre-ordered the collection. I obviously think Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor but i thought, you know what, a man with that much life experience is such to have something interesting to say. And I was right. I love that fact that the book is a collection of short stories because sometimes you want to feel like you've accomplished something. But also, they were so interesting and different but also well written and relatable. Definitely worth the read.
I am obsessed with this trilogy. As soon as I heard Netflix was making it I ordered the three books straight away. Super fun and easy to read, I love some teen fiction.
One of the first 'behind the scenes' Disney books I read. An insight into the world or Pixar from the Co-Founder himself.
One of my biggest influences. Such a strong role model for me. Ashley has really shaped the Body Positive movement and helped me love my body.
A light hearted memoir and inspiration for anyone trying to make it in entertainment.
An easy read, very touching and despite being a young adult novel, this is one I think everyone should read.
I'm also a big fan of audiobooks. I walk to work most of the time and love listening to audiobooks on my way. I use Audible and they have some fab offers!
Books
One of my favourite things in life is a good book. From a young age I have always loved wandering around book stores and could spend hours on the floor of a bookshop with a few prospective book choices and a Starbucks in hand. I always want to read more, have more time to read and accumulate a beautiful library of knowledge and wonder.
I have comprised a brief list of all the books I've read (some of which I have reviewed on the blog here already)
Cook Books I love
Some of my fave cookbooks that you can order on Amazon and have delivered to your door. Or even download as an e-book.
Roz' newest book of all vegan deliciousness. I love Roz, she is all about feeding your body good stuff and she loves eating which I love.
Roz' second book, this one is fantastic for easy recipes that take less than a half hour to prepare! No fussy ingredients, stuff you have in your cupboards.
Queer Eye's Antoni shares some of his favourite recipes. Some of these are outrageous but some are super simple. I love this cookbook so much.
The best selling vegan cookbook of all time. So many recipes in this are adaptable to add meat if you so wish and also very easily made with stuff you have in your kitchen cupboards already.
The queen of Goop, and queen of health and fitness. This cookbook has some beautiful recipes for clean eating as well as some 'home remedies'.
I don't have this one yet but it's on my list. I just love the idea if eating 'happy'.
