HELLO! Magazine’s Top 23 Reads for 2023

Cheers! And yippee! This week, ahead of International Women’s Day, I’m celebrating the fact that HELLO! magazine has included How to Own the Room in their Top 23 Reads for 2023 alongside Brene Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert, Michelle Obama and Fearne Cotton. Wow.  You can order How to Own the Room from Amazon, Bookshop (benefits indie booksellers) or Waterstones . 

I’m taking part in a series of IWD events this month, starting with The Allbright’s Step Forward Summit.  I’m also presenting a Phenomenal Women evening on 14 March at The Gainsborough, Bath, where I’ll be talking about The Most Inspiring Women of 2023. Tickets here

And I will be hosting Margaret Atwood on 15 March at the Pavilion Bath (starts 7.30pm).

If you would like to celebrate in another way, I recommend a blood orange spritz.  Blood oranges are in season, as one of my favourite food writers, Bee Wilson, explains here.
