Jules Swain

Jules Swain is a Paramedic Team Leader, and beyond the life-saving duties, has carved out a niche in the literary world as an influential book reviewer, aptly named TheReadingParamedic™️. This year, Jules's dedication to the world of books has been recognized on a grand scale, as she clinched the title of UK Book Blogger of the Year 2023.

From Paramedic to Heaving Bookshelves

Jules's journey is a testament to the power of passion. Balancing a demanding job in the medical field with a fervent love for books, Jules has managed to work closely with publishers and book publicists, promoting a myriad of titles on social media. Their reviews are not just critiques but bridges connecting authors to readers and stories to hearts.

A Celebrated Achievement

The UK Book Blogger Awards 2023, hosted by The Book Party, is more than just an award ceremony. It's a celebration of the vibrant book blogging community. The event is a unique blend of fun, networking, and celebration, where everyone from internationally bestselling authors to first-time bloggers comes together. Unlike traditional literary festivals, The Book Party is about relaxation and enjoyment. And this year, amidst this jubilant atmosphere, Jules Swain stood out as the show's star.

Davina McCall

Jules highlights Davina McCall as someone who inspires her, having spent time with Davina in a media production focused on the paramedic aspects of Jules's work. Davina has been an icon of television for 40 years. The host of Big Brother for over a decade, tens of millions of people looked to Davina to bring a national obsession into their homes. Jules praised Davina's down-to-earth approach and her shared love of fitness. Davina recently appeared on The Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett.

Looking Ahead

As Jules continues to juggle her roles as a paramedic team leader and a revered book reviewer, one thing is sure: her influence in both worlds is undeniable. Whether it's saving lives or championing books, Jules Swain is a name we'll be hearing a lot more of in the years to come.
