Here she shares her favourite reads, from the biographies of two recent presidential hopefuls, to a best-selling thriller.

French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure by Mireille Guiliano. I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to others to read. I do my reading at home or my favourite place is on the plane, when I’m away.

Leadership by Rudolph W. Giuliani. My favourite books are non-fiction, they’ve been a favourite since high school. I like reading and hearing about real people and books that speak about people skills, management, organization and planning. It’s partly because this is a large part of what I have done over the years working in theatre and what I do at PTE.

Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am currently reading this book and enjoy getting other people’s perspectives on how they work and how they tackle challenges. I usually don’t re-read books, however I do sometimes refer back to them.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. My most recent fiction novel was this book, which I thoroughly enjoyed due to its plot line and twists and turns.
