pickIf you‘re after a book about self-belief, determination and hard work, you could do a lot worse. This covers Nicola Adams‘ childhood, the route to her boxing career, the Olympics, fame, & her personal life. It‘s optimistic, up-beat & positive, even through the rough patches (there are a several, covered in varying degrees of detail). A pick for sheer force of personality!

A street sign from yesterday‘s audiowalk, and finished this audiobook. So windy - I didn‘t last long!
Right, let‘s do Friday! #litsywalkers
Missed weekend #litsywalkers while Storm Freya did her thing 💨💨💦🌊💨💨! But today‘s walk made up for it, taking me to a circuits class, which I surprisingly enjoyed. Mid-life-crisis? Moi??! (Only possible explanation 😐).
Anyhow, this is my current audio. Nicola Adams is (and apparently always has been) a very strong-minded, determined lady. She‘s not had it easy, but it‘s nice/unusual to read a celeb memoir with so little ‘poor me‘ about it.
An hour walk, and something #unusual for #litsywalkers - a WWII mine converted into a collection box for the Shipwrecked Mariners Society. Weird might be a better description than unusual 🤔.
And started a new audiobook. I find Nicola Adams fascinating- I don‘t understand boxing at all. But I find her enthusiasm and positivity so engaging. So far the book‘s a bit all over the show, but she‘s such a character, I think it‘ll be an interesting read.
