I\u2019ve always wanted to work for an airline, but it just didn\u2019t happen \u2013 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\u2019s an autobiographical account of what it\u2019s 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\u2019s so easy to read that it feels like a friend is telling you a story. A must read!<\/li><li><strong>Orange Is The New Black:<\/strong>My Time in Women\u2019s Prison<br>So I\u2019m cheating a little here as I haven\u2019t actually finished this yet, but I\u2019m obsessed! After finishing the second season of the mesmerising series, I had to fill the void \u2013 so I picked up Piper Kerman\u2019s brilliant novel, which the TV hit is loosely based on. Let me just say that it\u2019s every bit as endearing and gripping as the series. I haven\u2019t been able to put it down, so I recommend giving it a go if you\u2019re also mourning the loss of the show.<\/li><li><strong>Before We Met:<\/strong>This read is a little like the English version of Gone Girl, I didn\u2019t 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 \u2013 she waits for hours and he doesn\u2019t show, she can\u2019t get hold of him and doesn\u2019t hear from him all weekend. When he does get in touch, things don\u2019t add up and she finds little holes in his story. She thinks he\u2019s having an affair, but what she actually discovers is far worse. Well worth a read!<\/li><li><strong>Tampa:<\/strong>This book is completely obscene, so I probably wouldn\u2019t recommend reading it if you\u2019re not open-minded. I won\u2019t even go in to the synopsis so make sure to read up on Amazon before you tuck in, it\u2019s unbelievable. I wonder if this will be made in to a film, though I really can\u2019t imagine it! It\u2019s beyond ridiculous, but I actually really enjoyed it \u2013 although I was left confused, sickened and pretty much disturbed afterwards! It\u2019s meant to raise awareness, and in that respect it\u2019s a real eye-opener. You have been warned\u2026<\/li><li><strong>Shatter:<\/strong>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 \u2013 she\u2019s 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!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019m in need of a new book so please add your suggestions below \u2013 not Gone Girl! \u2013 and let me know if you have read any of these\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time for yet another reading list roundup; I\u2019m a pretty keen reader and will&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1379,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions\/1379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
