I hadn’t planned on posting this treat quite so soon, but work schedules (you know how it is). I was lucky enough to get the chance to chat with the author Kate Eberlen about her latest novel, Ever After, which is a fascinating and moving book following on from her 2016 release, Miss You. It...
This week I had the chance to speak with author Veronica Henry about her latest release, Thirty Days in Paris. It’s a story of second chances, of new experiences and follows our main character, Juliet, as she travels to Paris to learn about herself after an amicable divorce. We talk about everything from au pairs...
Divine Rivals was released at the beginning of March and, since that point, has enjoyed a lot of success, it’s proved incredibly popular on socials such as BookTok and Bookstagram. The enemies-to-lovers element of this fantasy has really gripped people, almost as much as Fourth Wing (as an aside can you believe there are over...

This week I am joined by Jordanne from the fun bookish podcast Books to Last, where guests talk about the 5 books they’d take with them to a deserted island. And we’re talking about a book that has been on both of our TBRs for quite a while, Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor...
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is a hit. With a massively positive score on sites like Goodreads, Amazon and Waterstones, if you’re a fan of fantasy then it’s likely you’ll have heard of it. It’s been hugely hyped up everywhere, but if you’re not sure whether it’s your thing but you don’t want to read...
You know I am always a fan of reading new cosy mysteries, so when I saw this one and then it just kept on popping up on all my social feeds I knew I had to give it a go. What we have here is a murder most gruesome that takes place in a church…Canon...
If there is one genre I will admit to loving more than any other it’s mythology. This week you will truly get to hear me geek out as I talk with author Luna McNamara about her debut novel, a retelling of the myth of Psyche and Eros. A fantastic tale and it was wonderful to...
