And what I love about this book is that it's written by a non-expert.

And he really encourages you to just notice what's around you in your immediate surroundings, to look closely.

And there's a saying that I really love as well, which is bloom where you're planted.

So it kind of just being out in nature really grounds me.

So this is a wonderful book for every day of the year.

There is something to look out for, which you will most likely be able to find in your local area.

My second choice is The Examiner by Janice Hallett.

So this was kind of a little sort of antidote to reading children's books for so many years.

So this is a kind of a crossover from a young adult to an adult book.

So I'm a great fan of Cosy Crime and stories set in academia and schools.

I love that.

So this is a book.

It takes place on Tuesday.

amongst a group of six mature students and they're doing a master's degree.

And it all takes place on online platforms.

So you've got email messages and WhatsApp groups and all that sort of things.

So it felt a little bit like a guilty pleasure somehow.

Something happens with these students and it seems at the end of their course that one of them's disappeared and the others might have covered it all up.

And it's the external examiner who has to work out what's really happened.

Yes.
