This week I am reading.................


I started my week reading 'Stand Up Straight' written by Major General Paul Nanson.
This is an inspirational book sharing 10 , simple transformative lessons that every officer is taught whist studying at Sandhurst Military Academy.  They range from ironing your shirt to making your bed to improve resilience and emotional intelligence.  The Major General really wants you to stand up straight, take note and be the very best you can.  All officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibility of leading their fellow soldiers and they learn to  live by the Academy's motto 'Serve to Lead'. I think this is a book that eveyone should read from whatever walk of life.  Really makes you think.

I have downloaded from the library the ebook 'The Holiday' by T.M Logan.
Seven Days, Three Families, One Killer.
It is supposed to be the perfect holiday, dreamed up by Kate as the iodeal way to turn 40: four vest freinds and their husbands and children in a luxurious villa in Provence.
Kate suspects that her husband is having an affair, and that the other woman is one her best friends.
From the very first sentence the plot is riveting.  The characters really come to life and you are there under the blazing sunshine of Provence.
Makes you think twice about going on holiday with friends.
It will be available from Hive

I pre-ordered 'Wild Your Garden - Create a sanctury for nature' by the Butterfly Brothers.
I have just had a message to say that my book will be delivered to my local bookstore.  No idea when they will be open again but will look forward to reading it.
I order my books through  https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Jim-and-Joel-Ashton/Wild-Your-Garden--Create-a-sanctuary-for-nature/24213038   they support local bookshops.
