I’ve been lucky and have been given some fabulous books as presents by others and then bought some more for myself, reading has been a great part of my sitting down with a cuppa and resting.
Davina McCall lessons I’ve learned has been amazing, I’ve always been a fan (I know I know maybe not cool but I loved her on big brother) she is a massive inspiration and her book has only made that more so, from the alcoholic parents to her sister with brain tumours, heartbreakingly close to home. I’ve cried and laughed. Maybe she will read this and know how much she has helped me.
Fearne Cottons Happy the journal, this was a present to myself and I totally love it, writing down daily thoughts, feelings and memories is a brilliant way of me putting things into perspective. I’ve thought about things I haven’t thought of for years and remembered things that have made me laugh until I cried. Thankyou Fearne for making me look inside myself and see that things are going to get better and better. I hope you too will maybe have a read of this blog and understand the help you are giving me every day.
Shaun Usher Letters of note, a christmas present and it is utterly beautiful to sit down with a cuppa and take a 10 minute break from the world and read a letter. This book is utterly beautiful.
Haemin Sunim The things you can only see when you slow down, I can see why this is such a massive bestseller it’s beautiful. It’s another one for a sit down for a break and a cuppa, putting things into perspective and making you look at things through different eyes. I feel like I want to do this a lot lately, it’s doing me good.
On my reading list
Mary Ann Shaffer The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society, recommended by my daughter who is also my personal book advisor, she reads brilliant books and everything she recommends to read I love
Michael Heppell How to be brilliant, I’m looking forward to this one and to make my perceptions of things happier and healthier
Danny Wallace Join me, this books looks incredible and so do most of the rest of his collection, I might just become a Danny Wallace fan
I’m a slow reader so these will take a while but it will be recovery times to enjoy with a nice cuppa and maybe even a biscuit or two.
