Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald
Girl, Goddess, Queen
by Bea Fitzgerald | Buy this book
I am not normally a fan of mythology retellings but this gripped me from the start. I would say it is more of a romance book in a fantasy setting. I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop and the character development of Persephone.

A waiter in Paris by Edward Chisholm
A waiter in Paris
by Edward Chisholm | Buy this book
This book transfers the reader to the “underbelly” of life as a waiter in Paris.Some of the language is crude but it accentuates the harshness of the environment.The brutal truth of working in this environment is quite thought provoking.

I am a teacher and love to read, but have been so busy for a while that I haven't really had chance.

I'm 21, I've always loved books since I was a child. Although, recently I haven't been reading very often I feel if the right book came along I would get back into reading. What better incentive than someone's recommendation.
