New Year New Books – Wellbeing 2020 :

The top 5 books to kick start your year and your wellbeing for 2020…

A Little Pick Me Up: Shining A Light On Your Darkest Emotions by Katie Portman

This book is a brilliant buddy for providing assurance, inspiration and empathy galore. Author Katie Portman explains her own story, highlighting ways as women we have historically been made to feel bad about ourselves. By outlining this pertinent point and using her voice to chart deeply personal life chapters, the reader can navigate moments of self-doubt or low confidence with Katie’s powerfully supportive voice. The ideal size to pop in your handbag for on the move too, you can easily flick through pages and pinpoint accessible, kind and hugely relevant wisdom. This was my favourite book to be released in 2019 and I’d thoroughly recommend ordering a copy.

The Giver Of Stars by Jojo Moyes

Always told never to judge a book by its cover, I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the celestial beauty of this one. A new novel which was also inspired by a true story, this standalone Jojo Moyes book takes you back to the 1930s and a union between an Englishwoman and her wealthy American beau. Full of signature Jojo Moyes style, the story will grip and charm you. And make your bookcase look extremely stunning too.
