Book Mail Round-Up 💌

This week's round-up of beautiful book mail!

I'm excited to begin sharing a roundup of the book mail I've received recently. I can't wait to delve into these books and share my thoughts through reviews!

The books in this week's round-up are:

Her Many Faces by Nicci Cloke:

When four powerful men are poisoned at an exclusive London club, waitress Katherine Cole is arrested and the media frenzy begins.

Told through the perspectives of five men who knew her in very different ways, Her Many Faces is a chilling and clever thriller that explores perception, judgement, and how one woman can be entirely rewritten depending on who is watching.

Part courtroom drama, part psychological study, the book raises important questions around guilt, truth, online conspiracies, and the dangerous power of assumptions. It’s a slow burn at times, but ultimately an engaging and thought-provoking read.

The Girl Who Grew Big by Leila Mottley:

At sixteen, Adela Woods is sent from suburban Indiana to coastal Florida after falling pregnant.

There, she meets a vibrant, complicated group of teen mums, young women dismissed by their town, but bound by fierce loyalty and hope. Together they navigate friendship, motherhood, heartbreak and survival in the back of a red truck and the margins of society.

Full of raw honesty and emotional depth, The Girl Who Grew Big is a powerful coming-of-age story about the paradoxes of girlhood and the strength of female connection.

With richly drawn characters and a lyrical voice, Leila Mottley delivers a tender, character-driven book that celebrates resilience and the beauty of chosen family.

I found this book both moving and quietly powerful. The characters felt real, their struggles deeply human, and the bond between the Girls stayed with me long after I finished reading. It’s a tender, unfiltered look at young motherhood and friendship that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of growing up.

Thank you to Natalie and the team at Penguin UK for sending me a finished copy of the book. The book is out now and available to purchase.

Walk Your Talk: Your 4-week programme to take action now and change your life by Theresa Cheung:

Walk Your Talk is a practical, no-fluff guide to real change.

Over four weeks, Theresa Cheung introduces 22 “Power Moves” designed to build resilience, boost wellbeing, and help you take control of your life, one small action at a time.

From breath work to gratitude to setting healthy boundaries, each habit is backed by science and easy to implement, even on the busiest days.

As a nurse dealing with burnout, this book has helped me reconnect with simple daily habits that genuinely support my mental health. It reminded me that small, consistent changes are powerful and that looking after myself doesn’t need to feel overwhelming.

A great choice if you're ready to reset and refocus.
