5 Things A Reading List.

It’s time for yet another reading list roundup; I’m a pretty keen reader and will happily read a whole book in a few hours, instead of watching a film (which I just don’t have the attention span for) so I tend to have a reading list as long as my arm!

1. Cabin Fever by Mandy Smith:Ever since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with planes – I don’t even know what it is but I love flying and everything that comes with it. I’ve always wanted to work for an airline, but it just didn’t happen – and nothing makes me regret it more than this book! This is so scandalous and so much fun, I read it in a matter of hours as I was just so hooked. It’s an autobiographical account of what it’s like to work for one of the biggest airlines; Virgin Atlantic. It follows Mandy as she jets around the world, charting the highs and lows of the profession. Most of the book is full of some unbelievable gossip, and it’s so easy to read that it feels like a friend is telling you a story. A must read!
2. Orange Is The New Black:My Time in Women’s Prison
   So I’m cheating a little here as I haven’t actually finished this yet, but I’m obsessed! After finishing the second season of the mesmerising series, I had to fill the void – so I picked up Piper Kerman’s brilliant novel, which the TV hit is loosely based on. Let me just say that it’s every bit as endearing and gripping as the series. I haven’t been able to put it down, so I recommend giving it a go if you’re also mourning the loss of the show.
3. Before We Met:This read is a little like the English version of Gone Girl, I didn’t adore it but I totally lapped it up, waiting to find out more. The story centres around Hannah, who has been married for a matter of months when she goes to collect her husband from the airport – she waits for hours and he doesn’t show, she can’t get hold of him and doesn’t hear from him all weekend. When he does get in touch, things don’t add up and she finds little holes in his story. She thinks he’s having an affair, but what she actually discovers is far worse. Well worth a read!
4. Tampa:This book is completely obscene, so I probably wouldn’t recommend reading it if you’re not open-minded. I won’t even go in to the synopsis so make sure to read up on Amazon before you tuck in, it’s unbelievable. I wonder if this will be made in to a film, though I really can’t imagine it! It’s beyond ridiculous, but I actually really enjoyed it – although I was left confused, sickened and pretty much disturbed afterwards! It’s meant to raise awareness, and in that respect it’s a real eye-opener. You have been warned…
5. Shatter:I love everything by Michael Robotham, every book of his is completely gripping and so good for losing yourself in. One of my favourites is Shatter, which starts with a woman on a bridge, waiting to jump – she’s naked bar a pair of heels and is talking in to a mobile phone. The events that follow are so shocking, he always holds my attention and the story is full of twists. Anything by him is well worth a read, in my opinion!

I’m in need of a new book so please add your suggestions below – not Gone Girl! – and let me know if you have read any of these…
