The Bloom & Burn Book club
The first Bloom and Burn online book club. This is hopefully a place where you can come every month to see what I’ve been reading. Look at my book lists and get some inspiration for the things that you would like to read next. Feel free to comment and get involved, do you agree with the books I’ve loved? Are their books that maybe I didn’t Connect with as much that you really enjoyed? And have you got any recommendations for what I should read next?
