I really can't wait to read it!

 

Spice Girls stories will of course take up a sizeable chunk of it, but ultimately this is not a Spice Girls group book, it's a book about Melanie C. I would hope the book will have a good balance of stories from throughout her career. Her solo career is a particularly major part of her life, so I'll be disappointed if she glosses over particular aspects of it - her time with Virgin and her transition to becoming an independent artist is certainly of interest to me!

 

A general theme of this book is her journey towards self acceptance, and all the moments she's experienced over the years will have had significant impact on her growth as a person, certainly her solo career.

 

According to Amazon her book will be 432 pages long, which is a lot longer than Mel B's recent autobiography (270 pages). So I'm hopeful that this indicates Melanie has gone into great depth about an array of subjects.

 

Anyway, we'll find out in over 3 weeks time!

 

 

I agree with every word! I of course am interested to see her side of the spice girls story (especially if she is a bit more honest than the other girls perhaps were) but I already know the general story I am far more interested to learn about her solo stuff and how she felt about the different eras!

That cover :rofl:

 

So happy about the number of pages. Hope the content is also top-notch.

Every other pic I've seen from this book's photo shoot is better than the front cover. The back cover (I think it was) looked much better.

It's funny. Most of us will remember the very negative reaction to the initial Stages CD cover which was eventually changed. Sometimes I wonder what the people involved in these projects see in particular pictures. I wouldn't have looked at the image used for the front book cover and thought "yeah, that's absolutely the one".

I agree about the Cover 😂😂🤣

She's never been that great with covers to be honest, specially the This Time, Beautiful Intentions and the standard Melanie C cover were all terrible imo

(I think it works on desktop browsers only)

Love the pics of the book that we’ve got and looking forward to getting my copy and reading it :D

Ok I am really looking forwards to this book even more so now! Looks like she is going to really talk about her mental health issues in a way she hasn't before.

Oohhh I'm not sure whether to read that now or wait for the book!

Cool, thanks! Do y’all think there’s gonna be at least a TV interview? Loose Women or something like that?

 

It’d be cool to see the host who read the book trying to ask some spicy questions. But I recon maybe she’s going to focus on bookstores.

^ I think a TV interview is a must.

 

Melanie will be heading to the USA at the end of September. The first American date has been announced:

I imagine at the very least yes these shows, also hope she could get one of the bigger shows if they are on at the min like Graham Norton (is that showing at the min?). The book publishers should be able to secure bigger promo slots for her like Emma got with MHP. If this is case that is why I think promoting a Greatest Hits alongside it (also titled Who I Am) would be a great promo opportunity.

Finally decided to pre-order the book. Wasnt sure to buy it but you only live once.

Actually wouldnt mind her doing a Greatest Hits type of release with a couple new tracks she worked on this year, but I think it will clash too much with Spiceworld25 so I dont really see it happening...

The whole book and its release has been to coincide with Spiceworld 25.

When is this released again?
