House of Books & Friends is thrilled to welcome Rhonda Carrier and Tracey Davies on Thursday 29th January at 6pm to discuss their new book, ‘Wayward Women: Sex, Friendship and the Midlife Reset‘.

Tickets at the link in our bio!

As always, we have a limited amount of complimentary tickets for this event for anyone who needs it. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380.

About the book

Wayward Women is a unique, searingly honest, devastatingly raw two-person memoir about the friendship, travels and sex lives of two fiftysomething women finding their way again after divorce.

It’s an entertaining, emotional and geographical journey that bounces around the world from Florida to India, Lapland to Hong Kong, as the authors -both leading travel writers – relay their experiences as midlife women – love, loss, parenthood, divorce, menopause – along with the tales of the inspirational women they meet along the way, and the growth of their friendship.

We’ve had the pleasure of hosting The Inspiring Leadership Podcast here at House of Books & Friends before, so we're always looking forward to seeing which guests appear and what takeaways each episode brings.

Well, in this latest episode, guest John Amaechi OBE delivers a book-full of insights, quite literally, as he’s also just released a new title. John shares his thoughts on perseverance, mental health, growth mindset, his favourite side of social media, and even reveals the book that has had the most profound impact on his life and way of thinking.

And for those who want to dive even deeper, John’s brilliant new book, It’s Not Magic, is available now.

Listen or watch the episode on YouTube now; link in bio 🔊
