Lottie Brooks is Back!
From hilarious MEGA-BESTSELLING author Katie Kirby comes a brand-new story in the phenomenal LOTTIE BROOKS series! Pack your bags, and put on your helmets, for Lottie’s latest hilarious diary! She’s off on a ONCE IN A LIFETIME skiing holiday - what could possibly go wrong?! Amber has seen the light and returned to the QUEENS OF EIGHT GREEN. PHEW! And now she’s invited Lottie on her family skiing holiday – RESULT! One tiny problem… Lottie’s never been skiing before, and she doesn’t know her piste from her poles! How hard can it be though? Join Lottie as she learns how to ski with old and new friends, tries fondue for the first time and discovers what the banana of destiny has in store for her. Will this be the best holiday ever or is it all downhill from here.

We have signed copies of The Seriously Epic Holiday of Lottie Brooks in stock with added goodies while stocks last.

AUTHOR EVENT - We are excited to announce that we are part of author tour for her latest book How to Age. Join Liz in Sherborne as she shares all the latest scientific research which informs her unique approach to age well; never anti-ageing, always in the best way possible. So much of what we have been told about ageing - especially as women, is wrong. We’re not here to spend our later years in silent decline. We have just never been shown the full picture of what is possible - or how we can take control of it. Liz offers the very best evidence-based biohacks and practical, easy-to-implement, daily plans to improve and boost your energy as you age. She has used these same protocols to turn back her biological age by decades and she now feels stronger, happier and more purposeful in her 60s than in any other decade of her life. In How To Age, and at this special event, she shares her findings so you can, too.
