The Modern Marcus: Stoic Meditations for the 21st Century


I was asked by Lovereading.co.uk to review this book I was not quite sure of what this book was about at first. 

lots to think about and food for thought - this is really essentially for those who struggled with the writing of Marcus Aurelius books of meditations. 

This book gives the reader an staring block into the philosophy of stoicism and was surprisingly for me a good read


.

work is shit this is not






I was asked to review this for Lovereading.co.uk

Working in an office, feeling like I been round the block so many times and hearing new management terms that did not work before and probably wont work again I just loved these and thinking will have this in the office in 2020 to start the mad year off.

I do human factor training and loved the " what does success look like" reply "going home early"

How many times have you been for some dreadful interviews and wished you had said some of these things - the "working from home" when you know someone is just watching trash day time tv.

A great stocking filler great for office joke of the week and sometimes just to realise life is short but the work family are a big part of life.

Recommended I chucked my way through this.

The Boy Who Couldn't

I was asked to review by Love Reading.co.uk

Written for young adults but will appeal to adults readers also.

The author tells the story of two differing boys and what brings them together, they both have a interest in habitats and badgers habiting in a wood near to where they live.  It shows how friendship is importance regardless of status or where they have come from.

I found myself in the treehouse whilst the boys looked onto the badgers and the illustrations added this beautifully drawn.

The author writes well and has a great understanding of nature and the natural world, and I literally could not put the book down and boy was there an ending.

moralistic which again will apply to both young adults  and grown ups.

Recommended read.

Jog On: How Running Saved My Life



I was asked to review this  book by Nudge books 

This books encompasses the authors issues with life events, mental heath and a disbelief in herself.

Just how many people are probably glued to their sofas watching dreadful tv and thinking there is no way I can get up and do anything let alone exercise. This author got off her sofa and with baby steps started to go running. Sometimes this is all we need to get on with life and focus on exercise and fresh air rather than sitting around. For some people they cannot see the wood from the trees.

This book and the author are an inspiration to me and brought humour into this as well - I found myself chuckling along and then feeling quite emotional at the sametime.The author was hugerly honest so respect for this lady.

The author writes well, enclosed a good reference guide and the key to all of this nobody is looking at you so find something and do it.

I am off to swim that is my oulet I am not good but i keep going.

really liked
