Jog On How Running Saved My Life by Bella Mackie

In this book, Bella talks all about her living with anxiety and how it manifested though her life and how jogging has helped her to manage the feeling of it a lot better than before it got terrible.

From discussing how her own anxiety and OCD was approached, diagnosed and how she felt dealing with it for so many years, Bella takes us through many great facts about mental health and cases over the years gone by and the generational issues past and present today in both sexes too.

It was a good book about how running helped her to manage the events happening in her life, however, at the same time it felt like we kept going over the same things chapter by chapter and the same facts being used repeatedly. It may have just been me as I read this book in bits unable to stay hooked into it. It was an inspiring story though and Bella should be proud of her journey.

Girls Can't Hit by T. S. Easton

Fleur along with best friends Blossom and Pip, see a sign about girls boxing which spurs fleur on to want to have a go.
Blossom is set in her feminist ways so it's down to lanky uncoordinated Pip to accompany Fleur to her first session.

At the club as she persists with training and getting heavily invested in it all, the boys accept her, Ricky agrees to train her on Wednesdays as she's serious about boxing properly and Tariq runs with her whilst she cycles a with her dad too.

Even when Bonita her rival/worst enemy from school comes along to get involved it doesn't deter her spirit even though her boyfriend George and her mum don't approve of her boxing.

This was another great book about difference and pursuing what you prefer over feeling pressured to stick to the norm. It's an inspirational book and maybe a young girl who picks it up will one day make a boxer too!

Hello Life! by Marcus Butler

Marcus is a very popular Youtuber I have followed for years now but have only just picked up his book he wrote a while ago now.

Marcus tells us of his fitness journey, and dating escapades before enlightening us into his past school days when he went through a phase of being a troublemaker before settling into better friendships.

We could see how much he cares about his family and friends as he tells us of his Nan's death and being a shoulder to cry on for his sisters and mum during the time as well as doing all he could to support his friend as she went through her anorexia battle in and out of hospital for treatment.

Overall Marcus shows us all through his life up to now and proves what a great role model he is now to his young fans.
