Let’s Talk About Christmas

By Books & Authors, ShoppingNo Comments

Christmas is fast approaching. Looking for a gift for your loved one? Then look no further. Buy them a signed paperback copy of one of my books (UK only):

Unsure which of my fabulous books to buy? Here is a one sentence summary and review of each:

Mental Health Wisdom – Contains everything someone needs to know about mental health and mental illness. Learn more here. A review:

This is a perfect starting point for anyone that wants to get clued up on mental health. It goes through the many different mental health illnesses, symptoms and has so much invaluable knowledge and wisdom embedded in it. It then goes on to list some tips on how to manage and look after your mental health and well-being. 5 Stars

SpellCast – A comprehensive compendium of spells, oils, charms and talismans. Learn more here. A review:

Love this book – its very profound and down-to-earth at the same time, and explains it really well. Every spell is tried and tested – some are instant and others more elaborate. Tried the instant car parking spell and it worked – wunderbar, as they’ve all got three cars around here. Highly recommended!! 5 Stars

The Alcohol Therapy Workbook – A workbook designed for anyone that is struggling with alcohol or has struggled with alcohol in the past. Learn more here. A review:

The book is fantastic for anyone who has a problem with alcohol. It is written in a style which is easy to understand and is set out in a fantastic chronological order. The value of the author with extensive experience of working in a hospital environment helps an individual to deal with any challenges that they may face when trying to make changes and or stop using alcohol. If you are unsure where to start this book will set you on the right track. This is one of the best self help books I have ever read. It makes a treatment journey seem more achievable. This can be used in conjunction with any other treatment programme to help support change. 5 Stars

My Royal Navy Friend – Contains 52 emails sent to my friend Roy who enlisted in the Royal Navy; these emails are funny and interesting. Learn more here. A review:

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the concept of email exchanges as a layout for a book. The list of jokes especially made me laugh. A really interesting concept that’s fun to read and a rare book that you can read multiple times and still find enjoyment. 5 Stars

Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong – This book covers every system of the body, what can go wrong when the body malfunctions or fails, symptoms (including why these happen) and cures/treatments available. Learn more here. A review:

Very well written explanations on how the human body works, easy to understand with a pinch of humour thrown in – Fabulous read. 5 Stars

Book Review: Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

By Amazon, Books & Authors, ReviewsNo Comments
Christmas-Shopaholic-by-Sophie-Kinsella

Don’t panic. Don’t panic.

Christmas Shopaholic is the best book in the Shopaholic Series to date.

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) returns and it’s her turn to host Christmas.

Becky and Luke’s guests will include: Becky’s mum and dad, their neighbours Janice and Martin, Suze & Tarquin and their children, her sister Jess and her partner Tom.

Becky desperately wants her Christmas to be like a Christmas movie. Everyone getting on, following traditions and everyone to say: Do you remember that Christmas at Becky’s? Wasn’t it great.

But with the guests falling out with one another; everyone making demands around their Christmas traditions; trying to get Luke a sensational gift; and an ex-partner coming back into her life with the offer of friendship – but whom has secret motives;

making an outfit for Minnie’s school nativity; worrying about her sister Jess who won’t open up about what’s going on in her life; supporting one of the school mums whose having a rough time. Becky has a lot going on.

Can Becky pull off her dream? Well if you’ve read any or all of the Shopaholic series, you know Becky is resourceful and often solves problems in her own unique way. It is her ideas and how she pulls it off that makes this book a joy to read.

This book had plenty moments of comedy that made me laugh out loud. The ending made me cry with happiness. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of Christmas Shopaholic and was gutted when I read the last word of the last page.

I’ve always thought of Becky’s husband Luke as being a bit two dimensional, but he scored major brownie points with me and some realism points to, by swearing and holding people to account in this book.

If I could say anything to author Sophie Kinsella, it would be to make Luke a bigger part of the story. He is barely mentioned in most of the Shopaholic novels, yet is a big part of Becky’s life.

Christmas Shopaholic is available to buy on Amazon.

Book Review: Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas by Adam Kay

By Amazon, Books & Authors, ReviewsNo Comments
twas-the-nightshift-before-christmas-book-cover-adam-kay

Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas is the secret diaries of a junior doctor over the festive period. It is the follow on book from This Is Going To Hurt (which I reviewed here) , both by Adam Kay.

Twas The Nightshift contains all new content, which is fantastic as I was worried they might decide to just re-hash the content in This Is Going To Hurt.

Twas The Nightshift is a much smaller book than This Is Going To Hurt and its price is smaller, aiming to be a Christmas stocking filler.

Twas The Nightshift is as funny as This Is Going To Hurt, as honest and one tale is as heartbreaking.

If you have read This Is Going To Hurt and enjoyed it, this book is a must read.

It can be bought on Amazon and at all good bookshops.

Review soon,
