The Book Hub 📙🐻

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Recently, I finished reading Shirley Ballas's autobiography, Behind the Sequins, and it was a very good read. It was such a good read in fact that I even recommended the book to my mum and my sister, who were both eager to read it too. On Sunday, my mum finished the book and she was completely awe-struck by Shirley's story and so was I.  If you don't already know who Shirley Ballas is, she is a famous Latin dance champion who was popular in the 70s and 80s. She later replaced the head judge of Strictly Come Dancing, Len Goodman, in 2017. I wrote an entire blog post on her on my main blog and you can read that here .   However, despite her many successes in life, it was clear from reading her book that Shirley came from very humble beginnings and has dealt with many struggles in her life and her confidence to talk about these aspects of her life so openly and so unapologetically, is something that I really enjoyed about
