So this is a book club with a verrry exclusive membership, a membership of one, ok so it’s more of a personal reading list than a book club but there you go, buy the books and join in if you fancy? I’d be more than happy to have a bit of a chinwag about any of the books on my list.

I’m really looking forward to Danielle Krysa’s ‘Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk’ partially because I already love her as head honcho (artist & blogger) at The Jealous Creator but also because after hearing her speak on a podcast recently, I have a feeling it’s going to be a thoroughly inspiring kick up the bum.

Whilst Garance Dore’s ‘Love, Style, Life’ may be a slightly fluffier read (maybe not), I’ve been meaning to pick up a copy for ages and we all need a bit of escapism every now and again, am I right? She’s super stylish and utterly French so quite a way away from my clumsy, Northern-ness. It definitely couldn’t hurt to soak up a little of what’s on those pages in the hope of becoming a little more French.

‘The Confidence Code’ by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman was a sweet Christmas stocking filler and so something that I might not have ordinarily looked at, however I’m now 20 pages in and have found myself nodding my head vigorously in agreement with quite a few points made. I think us women as a whole could all do to be a little more confident in ourselves and our abilities, right? Watch this space…

Have you read any of these books? What’s on your reading list for the next month or so? I’m determined to get through the mountain of books that I have been fervently stockpiling in case of I-don’t-know-what.
