As a child I loved reading books by Roald Dahl and Jacqueline Wilson. Sometimes my parents would hide my books as I’d spend more time reading than sleeping 😴 My all-time favourite book is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. My current read is The Stationary Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali 😊

Personally, I love:

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

The novel follows the relationship between three friends who begin a successful video game company together. It takes you through the highs and lows of their friendship, including falling in love, falling out, a love triangle, successes, and failures.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

It's the story of a simple, quiet man who lives in Japan. One day his wife disappears, and he embarks on a search for answers. He encounters a lot of dream-like and strange situations. It's an imaginative and unexpected story.

The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter

Explores the evolutionary mind and body benefits of living at the edges of your comfort zone and reconnecting with the wild.

The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer

Presents some of the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, and explains the important neurological and biological benefits of striving to have a healthy gut microbiome, creating a healthy digestion and maximizing nutrient absorption.

Stalking the Wild Pendulum by Itzhak Bentov

Explores a new perspective on human consciousness and its limitless possibilities! It's an imaginative exploration of contemporary theoretical perspectives about the universe, and the intersection between quantum physics and human consciousness.
