New Year Presents!

I know it's a bit late for the Christmas present market but there are two new books reviewed in the 'Athletics Weekly' for 18th December (which arrived on 23rd December!). The first is Sonia O'Sullivan's autobiography called "Sonia, My Story". It is published by Penguin, Ireland at £14:99 and is available through Amazon - and probably through bookshops if you place an order. It was shortlisted for the Irish Sports Book of the Year. It gets a good write up and from what it says it sounds a good book.

The second is called 'Keep Ya Peckah Up!' and is by Natasha Danvers who won the Olympic 400 metres hurdles bronze in Beijing. I quote "More than an autobiography the book draws on Danvers' experiences to encourage readers in all walks of life, whether business, personal or sporting areas, to see that they can realise their dreams" There is no indication of publisher or price that I could see but you can probably get them on the internet.

I mention them because there are not many on women's athletics available other than Paula Radcliff or Kelly Holmes and any addition to the body of knowledge is welcome.

Finally, have a good Christmas and a successful New Year.
