‘Burning Up, Frozen Out’ by Joe Warner & Rob Kemp.

This is a menopause guide written for men. I started it quite a while ago and have finally got round to finishing it.

It is promoted as ‘your midlife survival guide for a healthier, happier life – together’.

What you actually get is talked at like you are a three-year-old. There might be some interesting ideas within it, but the patronising is just too much.

Do not read.

‘Trials and Tribulations’ by Susie Chan

A running book. I love a running book.

This was an enjoyable read, a pretty standard running book. Susie Chan is an incredible runner and has completed some incredible runs.

There is one thing about running: it is ongoing, it changes with you and gives you back what you put in.
