The Cows by Dawn O'Porter. Review

This was an extraordinary story about three women . Stella , Tara and Cam, they have very different lives and dreams for themselves yet they have a lot in common . Humiliation, loss , and freedom are some of the topics brought up in the story . Throughout it really made me think about the way we perceive the news we read every day and the consequences for doing things without thinking them through properly and the damage it can do. Each woman was going through her own her life difficulties , and it was terrific seeing how they coped with each of the situations they found themselves in . 

This was a deeply thought provoking and inspiring book with three strong women at the centre of it doing their best with what life dealt them . Read this with a box of tissues and your best friends number on speed dial .

Blue: A Memoir by John Sutherland. Review

Told in a matter of fact way this is a memoir of what it is like to live your life in the police force from a young age in England. From a humble beginning to marching up the ladder in his career John seems a very capable and likeable man with common sense and decency that must be applauded . Seeing what he does on a day to day basis where no two days are the same would not be everyone's cup of tea but he had the perfect manner for this job . Some of things he saw as a policeman would make you wonder how you come home from a job like that and separate  it from your every day life . This really makes you see people differently , those who make it their job to protect and take care of those in need and what goes through their head when they leave home every day not knowing what will face them and if thy themselves will get home in one piece back to their own loved ones.
