Do you have a favourite book and why?
My favourite genre is Romantasy (a mixture of romance and fantasy) but I am open to reading pretty much anything. Thankfully, my Kindle Unlimited subscription helps to keep the cost down!
What film or boxset would you recommend to others?
I do love a TV drama and my all-time favourite is Grey’s Anatomy; I am currently watching High Potential on Disney+ and would definitely recommend it. Film wise, I’ll watch anything but I really enjoy Romcoms or Action movies.
Do you have a favourite holiday destination?
It would have to be Italy – and a close call between either Rome or Tuscany, which I visited on my honeymoon but I usually go somewhere sunny with water slides nowadays so that my son is happy and I can relax too!
What’s your favourite food?
Mexican is always a winner and I’d probably choose Enchiladas - but nothing too spicy!
What smartphone App could you not be without?
Although I don’t live my life on my phone, I do like to have a scroll on TikTok, which is especially useful for its #BookTok community where I can find authors or books that will suit my taste.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Friendly, approachable, proactive, detailed and organised.
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?
Have more fun, enjoy yourself and don't take life so seriously!
