I've read more this year than I ever have before.. Using audio books to keep me company on walks etc

Latest one was Michelle Obama - Becoming

What an amazing woman she is.. I wish she had an interest in politics

I learnt a lot and changed my previously little cynical view, of her, to one of total admiration

Haven’t read anything properly for a while... finding it hard to find the concentration. These are all nice easy feel goood reads - the type you can dip in and out of!

The Town by The Cross

I am presently reading the latest in the trilogy by Yuval Noah Harari

Before that I read Fifty Fifty by Steven Cavanagh

Before that I read October ( virus novel before the virus )

Before that it was the 2nd Harari book Homo Deus

Before that The Silent Patient

Before that the first Harari Sapiens

I also read Mary Trump's book about her uncle....

And one or two others that elude me right now....

I've just downloaded Caitlin Moran How to be a Woman. It's 10 years old but i've never read it....

I listen to a lot of podcasts so that I can multi task.

It has some thoughtful passages that sooth...the uncommon bond is an amazing read. I wouldn’t pay full price for hearticulations though...and he does feature lots on his Facebook page!

My eldest daughter is ASC, my youngest struggling with her relationship with her dad...it’s helped both in different ways! And I love it’s simplicity.

"The Memoirs of Madame Roland: A Heroine of the French Revolution"

Made me want to write, one of the most fearless people, woman or man, I've ever read.

"Freya Stark:A biography"

An amazing traveller & unexpectedly funny. Very eccentric.

"Daughter's of Britannia:

The Lives & Times if Diplomatic Wives"

Gave me courage at a very difficult time in my life.

These books all helped me. Fist time I'd read in years after coercive relationship.
