Be Inspired to Read | Our Top 4 Picks.
When we read we exercise our mental abilities. It fires up our imagination and stimulates the memory centres of our mind. Reading allows our muscles to relax and slows down our breathing, leaving us feeling calmer.
Be inspired this January to put down your phone and pick up a good book. To help, here are our top four picks;
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - “This novel follows the lives of four friends in New York City from college through to middle-age. It focuses particularly on Jude, a lawyer with a mysterious past, ambiguous ethnicity, and unexplained health issues.”
Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman - “In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders. But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case.”
Still Life by Sarah Winman - “Sarah Winman's sweeping “Still Life” is a parade of small stories, intimate connections and complex characters whose lives illuminate the tedium and cataclysms of the 20th century.”
Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton - “Alive with wit and insight, heart and humour. Dolly Alderton's powerful debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age – all whilst making you laugh until you fall over.”
