BOOK NEWS: Air Confidential and top tell-all career books...
Ever fancied being a flight attendant and travelling around the
world? It's a dream job for many of us, but is it really that glamorous?
Well, read for yourselves. Air Confidential, by Elliott Hester, hit the
shelves earlier this month. Ever one to be lured by tell-all occupation
books, I'm definitely going to pick this one up. In Air Confidential: A
Flight Attendant's Tales of Sex, Rage and Outrageousness at 30,000
Feet, Hester gives us the scoop on working as part of cabin crew.
Here's the blurb:Wicked Whispers: Confessions of a Gossip Queen
Former 3am girl Jessica Callan released her tell-tale book in
2007, detailing life as a showbiz journalist. Jessica dished the dirt
on both the nice celebrities, and...well, the not so nice ones.
Working as one of the most renowned showbiz journos in the country,
Jessica and the 3am girls were subject to a vast array of celebrity
shenanigans...and so, she penned this scandalous diary.
Diary of an On-Call GirlSounds glam, but this on-call girl is PC EE Bloggs, an anonymous female police officer. Some may assume that a life in the Force is all about catching the bad guys and kicking ass. Well, not necessarily. Let's just say, there seems to be an awful lot of paperwork. Bloggs's account of life as a police officer is funny, insightful and a great read, based on her blog, a Twenty-First Century Police Officer.
Similarly, anyone fancying a career as a doctor might want to check out Max Pemberton's account of one newly-qualified doctor's first year on the ward. Granted, there are some hilarious stories, but Max also offers some well-written, serious anecdotes about his exciting, yet daunting, role as a new doctor.
Okay, so it's safe to say we've all heard of Belle de Jour, right? Obviously one of the most famous career diarists (heh), Belle, a city prostitute, started revealing all about the life she kept secret from family and friends on her blog. Shortly afterwards the blog became famous, landing Belle not only a book deal but later, a TV series. Belle has recently released her novel, Playing the Game.
