As she begins a “new chapter” of her life away from the Spice Girls and her Ginger Spice persona, Geri Horner has revealed her love for reading and shared her favorite book.
Former Spice Girls icon Geri Horner has opened up about her favourite books as she embraces a “new chapter in her life”. She rose to fame with the hit group in the ’90s, but Geri says she now considers herself a writer-producer beyond her Ginger Spice persona.
The popular star told Hello! magazine, revealing a childhood filled with the enchantment of reading, with The Book Thief by Markus Zusak earning the top spot on her adult bookshelf. Cast back to her younger days, she said she would be lost in the magical world of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis or adventuring through Enid Blyton’s creations.
In an intimate chat with the mag, Geri reminisced: “I love all kinds (of books). When I was growing up my mother didn’t have a lot of money, so I’d be reading a lot while everyone else was away on holiday,” reports the Express.
As she recalled those days, she reminisced, “I can remember reading under a tree in the garden.” I adored the way that books could take you wherever they went and still do.
The Spice Girls and the iconic Ginger Spice star made history in the 1990s, earning nine UK chart-toppers and becoming a household name.
Despite splitting up in 2000 and performing infrequently together, the mother-of-two, who has been married to Christian Horner since 2015, is now serenading a different tune and is concentrating on literary endeavors rather than music.
Geri introduced Hello! “This chapter in my life is enchanting me.” I enjoy being creative. For five minutes, it’s fun to be in front of the camera, but writing is much more enjoyable. “
Geri Horner has revealed she’s sent her fellow Spice Girls – Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, and Melanie Chisholm – copies of her new book but hasn’t yet sought their opinions.
Early this month, Geri’s Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire, the second instalment, was released. A fiery redhead protagonist, who resembles Geri herself, is featured in the murder mystery.
Meanwhile, Mel B’s enigmatic social media post sparked speculation about a potential Spice Girls reunion.
Mel made fun of the possibility of the legendary band reunite musically after their breakup in 2000. Although the group called it a “hiatus” and since reunited for performances, there is always rumors that a spectacular arena tour might be coming up next.
The Spice Girls have become the best-selling girl group in history thanks to the sale of over 100 million records worldwide.
Mel B, 49, shared a nostalgic video of herself driving through old photos from the Spice Girls’ heyday.
