This book would have been invaluable to me five years ago, when I decided that although I had so far been lucky with my weight so far, my metabolism wouldn’t be my friend forever and getting into a regular exercise routine would be beneficial for when I got older. That’s not to incorrectly categorise this book as about losing weight, because it’s so much more useful than that. The focus of Stronger is to show you how to use strength training to help you age better and be independent throughout your later years. Developing ... View Full Review

I’ve met the Archeron sisters from A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’ve met the infamous and slightly chaotic Adarlan’s Assassin of Throne of Glass. After reading House of Earth and Blood I think I might have met my favourite female main character of the Maasverse so far. Bryce is as dedicated to those she loves as Feyre, with a history and trauma to overcome like Nesta and the reckless penchant for chaos and surprise like Aelin. I found her a confident breath of fresh air as we see her outgoing party-girl lifestyle. But ... View Full Review
