Reviews: Call Me Red (6)

Excellent!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and Hannah Jackson for the eARC, in exchange for an honest review.

‘Call Me Red’ is an absolute delight to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book from start to finish. It made me laugh, it also made me cry (more than once!).
Hannah is a true inspiration and a fabulous role model.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it.
Thank you!

Would recommend

Call me Red is the story of Hannah Jackson , The Red Sheperdess. Coming across her on media I was interested to read her story. From the Wirral and townie life to Cumbria and the Fells .
The book is well written with many candid and funny moments, lovely descriptions of the Lake District and a real insight into modern methods of sheep farming. . I loved the relationship she has with her dogs !
It is a highly enjoyable read and I would recommend it.
Thank you to Netgalley, Random House and Hannah for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

Gentle and calming

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.
What a great book....I really loved it. I was not familiar from social media etc of the Red Shepherdess but I did love her story. It is flowing and gently meanders through her life and struggles this townie struggles to be accepted by the farming community. I do hope that this is not Hannah's only foray into writing as I for one will be looking forward to her next volume. Well Done !

A Force of Nature

Hannah, or the Red Shepherdess as she is known has achieved so much, becoming a force in farming in spite of being a female and a “townie” with no background in farming. I really enjoyed her story with the highs and the lows and it gives an insight into modern farming as well. It’s an emotional read too, with laughter and tears along the way and I finished it full of admiration for her. There are lovely descriptions of the Lake District and the relationship she has with her dogs. A very worthwhile read and I thoroughly recommend it.
Thanks to Random House and NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Keep it real every day, keep it red

After first coming across Hannah on SAS Who Dares Wins several years ago, I've been following her journey on Instagram ever since. When I found out she was doing merch, I felt this - frantically silly but - overwhelming sense of pride for her.

Then, I found out about her book, and boyyyy did I feel that pride swell.

Call Me Red is Hannah's story of growing up an animal lover in the Wirral and eventually, turning her passion into a dream and becoming a sheperd(ess). It's a fascinating and wild ride full of self-discovery, the real farming world and what real drive can look like.

This book is phenomenal in so many ways. So eye opening with the farming industry but also, very empowering for girls and women across the globe, to see someone with so much determination and passion go forth with her career despite the hurdles she faced.

I gave this book a whopping 5 stars and would give more if I could. Can't wait for Hannah to release more Red merch so I can hopefully get my hands on some this time round.

A true inspiration

I thoroughly enjoyed Hannah's book. I have followed her on Instagram for sometime, but I didn't know how she got to where she is today. She is a true inspiration and at such a young age. I've often thought of her and how she overcame barriers, when I've been in a situation that has needed some grit and determination. A very worthwhile read for everyone. Highly recommended.
