DUA LIPA Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

DUA LIPA

Ever so occasionally, you pick up a book and it spins you around and turns you upside down. This is one of those books... author Max Porter ripped up the rule book of what a novel should do and instead presents us with something so wild, so mind-bending and just so beautiful.

As Margaret says, the future exists in an infinite number of possibilities. The Handmaid’s Tale explores just one of these. The point of prophecy is to provide a warning – and it’s up to us to listen and choose the future we want to live in.

Brightly Shining is the perfect Christmas read – full of wonder, hope and magic.... it made me think about families impacted by addiction, about vulnerable people living at the margins, and about the importance of community, particularly at this time of year.

This book is both uplifting and gut-wrenching, often at the same time... At its heart, it is a story about the many different ways to be a family, and it made me reflect on what an honour it is to care for someone you truly love.

This book brilliantly surfaces a multitude of questions about race, class, and gender... I was struck by how the novel so cleverly raises questions of heritage and identity while remaining non-judgmental, empathetic, and full of heart. I raced through this book and I’m sure you will too.

It’s Percival at his very best – delivering one-liners that will make you howl with laughter, while simultaneously punching you in the gut.

A deceptively brief novel about making difficult decisions in dark times. The moral dilemma at the heart of this quiet but intense story about the Magdalene laundry scandal in Ireland stayed with me long after I’d finished reading.

In This House of Grief, Helen takes us inside the real-life trial of Robert Farquharson... Although Helen has been writing for almost 50 years, her work is new to me and it’s a thrilling discovery. She’s one of the most fascinating writers I have come across in recent years.

NYC WEEK began last night in the most special way ~ with a live interview recording of my @service95bookclub at the New York Public Library. We explored my next Monthly Read for October, FLESH by David Szalay, and I had the absolute joy of sharing the stage with David himself.

This book allowed me to see both the artist and his work in a totally different way, giving insights to the symbols and words that repeat in his paintings and revealing the true creative genius behind the icon.
