This book is fantastic about how to get on well in business and how to improve your network. There are some great book recommendations in here and will really appeal to you if you are a book-lover.

A friend of mine recommended this book to me and I found it amazing. It has a code in the back for an online test with many questions and this gives you a report that advises your top 5 strengths. With that info, you have no excuse not to know what you do best in life which is incredibly empowering. My top 5 strengths are learning, input (dealing with lots of info), harmony, restorative (fixing things) and achieve.

I remember reading this book many years ago while on holiday and it was such an experience. It felt like it was going on forever and I was totally captivated. Great story…..and Michael Crichton is a brilliant author and the suspense just keeps you reading and reading and unable to put the book down!

I found this book in a bookshop as I was casually looking for nothing in particular. I was surprised by how much it made me think about all the different areas of my life I can slow down eg eating, sleeping, sex, reading, living, education etc etc. There are some great ideas in here and it is a lovely book to take the time to digest.

This book is great and really explains how to make the most of your energy from all kinds of angles. It claims that there is no point trying to manage your time. It makes much more sense to manage your energy. Eg physical more rest and exercise, spiritual: doing more meaningful stuff, hobbies etc, mental: clearing the mind and emotional: doing what you love. The whole concept is that you need to stress yourself in each area to improve on it. Brilliant book that has so many points in it.

This book really made me think about my spiritual beliefs and what I believe happens to us when we die. It is a great book and very easy to read as it is in an adventure story format. It introduces some very different ways of seeing the world. It also has a study companion book and the sequels are great to read as well. The ideas really changed the way I think.

This book is full of useful ideas on how to slow down and not completely crowd your life with work worries.

It was written many years ago so the language is interesting and the people he formally refers to with their addresses!

I learnt a great deal from this book and want to dip into it in the future to remember all the wonderful attitudes and ideas.

These books are great, starting with Interview with the Vampire. You really get involved in their lives and start to imagine that a vampire kind of life can really exist! Amazing books that you just cannot put down.

This is a great trilogy and you can lose yourself in the fantasy. Magic and life after death and all kinds of exciting concepts. An abhorsen is a person who can go into death and bring people back and also make sure that the dead do not return. Best to read in the right order:

- Sabriel
- Lirael
- The Abhorsen

This is a wonderful story about love. Make sure you are not working the next days as it really makes you cry and gives you puffy eyes. Never in my life have I cried while reading a book!
