It has been a few weeks since I (thankfully!) finished The Goldfinch and I have managed to add another rather hefty tome to my "done and dusted" pile. I seem to be doing a kind of literary self-flagellation with all of these extra-long novels - I may have to pluck...
A burning question, for those of you who've read The Cuckoo's Calling and/or The Silkworm: who, in a TV or film adaptation of the novels, would play Cormoran Strike? Mr AMR and I have spent hours discussing this most important subject and, despite trawling through...
Well here's your Christmas shopping completely sorted; beauty journalist Sal Hughes' new book, Pretty Honest, is available to pre-order. Get one of these for each and every girlfriend, for your Mum, for your sister and your boyfriend's sister, for Auntie Jeanette and...
I loaded up my Kindle with about a dozen or so books before I left on holiday - more than I'll need, I expect, but you never know! I haven't used my Kindle in ages (it took me about two hours to find it - hidden in the bookshelf - and another half an hour to locate...
If you're looking for that all-absorbing read to see you through your summer holiday then look no further: The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair is it. It's totally unputdownable. The twists and turns in the plot might have you banging the book against your...
I haven't been this excited by a book in a long time: Nathan Filer's The Shock of the Fall is one of those novels that reaches out, grabs you firmly by both ears and refuses to let go until you've finished. I polished it off in just over twenty-four hours and I have...
You may have noticed an increase in video content here on A Model Recommends; that is because I am now trying to produce two videos every week on my Youtube channel. And it would seem churlish not to post the videos here, too - some of them are absolute stonkers....
I can't get over quite how gorgeous Penguin's Clothbound Classics are. I feel as though they should be framed! I'm going to talk more about pretty Christmas gifts on Monday but I thought that these deserved a standalone mention - just look at the flamingos...
Rick Stein's India is the most inspiring cookbook I've bought in a very, very long time. I've devoured it from cover to cover, savouring every little description and anecdote and even carefully picking through the supplementary lists of stockists and whatnot that you...
I suppose I should just say that this is a book review, but it's not, really. It's most definitely an audiobook review! I'm a voracious reader - I get through a couple of novels a week at least - but for the past year or so I have become quite enamoured with...
I have been whizzing through a few books recently as I have been sat on the tube quite a lot (which is when I get most of my reading done!) - I have just realised that 'sat on the tube' could sound quite odd/rude to some people, so I'll quickly clarify that I mean...
