Olive
by Emma GannonAdmittedly, I don't read a lot of fiction. I realised I actually prefer to listen to the audiobook instead, so when I was looking for a bit of escapism recently I was quite excited to read Emma Gannon’s debut fiction novel, Olive and I'm so happy I did. I found it heartwarming and the main character very relatable. It explored motherhood, relationships and friendship. Olive really is a modern day tale of the tribulations of adulthood and Emma bravely challenges us to rethink some of society expectations of women.
How to Fail: Everything I’ve Ever Learned from Things Going Wrong
by Elizabeth DayA book that will change how you see failure completely. I love how refreshing honest Elizabeth is as she narrates eloquently and with such empathy some of the ‘failures’ she’s experienced. This book is really for everyone who has failed, which is basically everyone. It’s a reminder to be kinder to ourselves, it’s reassuring and listening to Elizabeth talk us through some of her lessons has always been the rallying cry I come back to when I need to get going again.
I Am Not Your Baby Mother
by Candice BrathwaiteListening to Candice narrate such a timely and urgent read is nothing short of inspiring. It’s an illuminating and thought-provoking listen about Black motherhood. Candice talks us through hurdles such as white privilege, racial microaggression and unconscious bias. She has a great way of communicating; it’s straight talking, informative and there’s humour, listening to the audiobook is like having a loving conversation with a friend.
