There may be similar books on the market but none as vivid and alive as Annabel Staff’s “Life Hacks”.
This great little book is full of clever ways to solve annoying problems and make your life a little more enjoyable.
Want to find out how to stop people stealing your pen at work or an easy way to separate an egg? Fix it with Life Hacks!
This book has some simple and fun ideas to help you out in your everyday life.
The bright and vibrant hardback cover makes it a beautiful little coffee table book and each page has a mixture of colour, text and photos that simple pop.

I think this is the cutest book and would have been perfect as a secret Santa gift but there is still Easter and this book just screams “gift me”!

With my thanks to the publisher for my copy to read and review.

Was having a quiet moment at work so picked this up.Shhhh!!! Some interesting and useful tips here. I even thought of trying a few at home to see if they work and they do!!!! Using a squeegee to lift hair off carpet and furniture, works a treat on cat fur as well. Something light and fluffy to read if you have a spare 5 minutes.

In today's world of WhatsApp University offering solutions to anything and everything, it was refreshing to see this book on the store shelf - a real, published book on Life Hacks - so I bought it. It has 30 solutions, quite a few of which take you by surprise. But, on trying, some of them take you by surprise too - by not quite working the way the book would want you to believe. I am sure the fault is mine, but I must confess that a few were not quite the kind of hacks I was hoping they would be. Amazon.co.uk sells it at £7.58 with a hefty 70% off on the MRP of £25. I would recommend the library.

A bright fun looking book. There's only 30 tips in total though, so given some won't be relevant to you that’s not many hacks for your life. Some are really neat but not sure about putting the black ink into a red pen to prevent theft...

Some cute ideas for cleaning, cooling down wine without ice cubes and organizing your stuff.
