Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of trying to eat well and and be healthier - but not being able to keep on track? 

Between all the social media crazes and fad diets, one expert aims to cut through all the confusion with her new book End Your Fight with Food.

Claire Turnbull has had her struggles with disordered eating and bulimia, and she's using her journey to help people form a better relationship with what they eat.

"I just want people to stop fighting with themselves - so much of what fuels people's mental health challenges is the conversation they have with themselves. And when people try to eat better, exercise more, drink less, live a healthier lifestyle...and when the approach doesn't work, they get annoyed with themselves."

The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club by Martha Hall Kelly. She’s a terrific writer of historical fiction (my favourite of hers is The Lilac Girls) – this time set on Martha’s Vineyard in two timelines – present day, when a young woman grieving the death of her mother arrives on the island and discovers things about her mother she never knew; while back during WW2 two sisters are trying to hold it all together as the US army arrives and everything changes for the local inhabitants. Like her other books this is based on real events – this time from the author’s own family history.

Ocean by David Attenborough and Colin Butfield. There is also a movie of this title playing in cinemas at the moment. Looking back over the course of David Attenborough’s lifespan (he’s just turned 99) this is a look at eight unique ocean habitats – through coral reefs, mangroves,  Oceanic Islands and more. It’s an extraordinary insight into what lies beneath the water, and how much it’s at risk – although Attenborough does say that while our oceans are fragile they also have an extraordinary capacity to repair themselves which is encouraging. It includes lots of amazing photos.
