      Welcome to a world of 97-hour workweeks, life-saving decisions, and a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Say goodbye to loved ones; soon you will become a junior doctor! This book by comedian and former doctor Adam Kay, secretly written after endless shifts, sleepless nights, and overworked weekends, is a candid account of his struggles on the front lines of the British healthcare system. Through funny, terrifying, and poignant entries, you will learn everything you wanted to know (and perhaps didn’t want to know) about life as a doctor on the ward and beyond. It is an incredibly funny and heartbreakingly sad tale that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh again. If you plan to read one book this year, make it this one. It is clinically hilarious and so important that it should be prescribed. Kay's humor is as sharp as a scalpel, and his insights are bitter. He simultaneously entertains and tugs at the heartstrings. While reading these entries, I found myself laughing as often as I was crying. Adam has crafted a brilliant narrative, and this is truly a sparkling book.

    • From childhood family day trips to Loch Lomond, to her days as TVam's roving correspondent, Lorraine Kelly has covered the length and breadth of Scotland. But certain special places tug at her heartstrings and lure her back time and time again. Traveling to the highlands and islands and all her favorite places in between, this is Lorraine's personal journey around her beautiful and beguiling country. Each and every stop gives rise to fascinating stories and memories along the way, from her adopted home of Dundee to the wild and remote islands of St. Kilda. She revisits childhood haunts in Glasgow, indulges in a spot of whisky-tasting on the island of Islay, and reveals what led her to once arrive in Edinburgh pushing a pram and wearing a pair of roller skates. She rediscovers the joys of the natural wilderness in the Highlands, visits a dramatic Viking fire festival in Shetland, and recalls the week she and her family spent hunting the Loch Ness monster. Beautifully illustrated with stunning original photographs, Lorraine Kelly's Scotland is a celebration of a gloriously diverse country with a deep and rich heritage, told with all Lorraine's characteristic warmth and humor.
