#WutheringHeights was on my to-read list for 2026 already, but when I heard about #Catherine – a retelling by @essiefox.bsky.social – I couldn't resist picking it up first. And it's absolutely sensational! Full review: bit.ly/CatherineEss... Thx @orendabooks.bsky.social @annerandomthings.bsky.social
While a talking cat solving crime may sound a bit silly, this is honestly one of the best crime series! The mysteries are complex & intriguing, and #TheCatAndTheChristmasKidnapper by LT Shearer is another corker >> bit.ly/CatChristmas... Thx, @panmacmillan.bsky.social @annerandomthings.bsky.social 🐈⬛
Thank you! :)
Today, I'm delighted to put the spotlight on #TwosACharm by #HeatherSpellman (@stephcampisi.bsky.social) – a witchy read to ring in spooky season... 🪄 bit.ly/TwoIsACharm. Thanks, @annerandomthings.bsky.social @panmacmillan.bsky.social
#BeasBookWagon by Julie Haworth makes for a heart-warming return to the charming village of #BlossomHeath 🌸
It's packed with a cosy story, great new characters, and some very delectable love interests 😍 Full review >> bit.ly/BeasBookWagon
Thanks, @simonschusteruk.bsky.social
#LovesAWitch by Tricia O'Malley is the perfect read to kick off witching season! 🪄
Cosy, small town setting + brooding Scottish love interest + a dash of magic and mayhem.

#MarbleHallMurders by @anthonyhorowitz.com is published today!
It's the latest outing for book editor turned detective Susan Ryeland and it's a masterclass in writing murder mysteries; "clever" crime at its finest.

Thanks, @penguinbooksuk.bsky.social
Aww thank you so much for your comment and for the very charming read 🥰🍓
#HomegrownMagic by @jamiepacton.bsky.social and @beccapodos.bsky.social is cosy fantasy at its best. 🍓🍓🍓🍓 Full review >> bit.ly/HomegrownMagic
#Bookish by Lucy Mangan is my first 5-star read of the year and it'll be hard to beat as my fav book of 2025. Published today by Square Peg Books (an imprint of @vintagebooks.bsky.social), it's part memoir, part inspiring reading list, and an absolute 'bookish' delight. Review >> bit.ly/BookishBook
#OutOfTheWoods by Hannah Bonam-Young is a beautiful and realistic exploration of the many phases of love we go through throughout our lifetime – and the importance of understanding who you are as a person outside of your relationships. Full review >> bit.ly/OutOfTheWood...
How do we request a proof for this one? Love Maggie Stiefvater! 💚
Thank you! Me neither, but thankfully my dad and sister are really good at it and have helped a lot :) I'm now doing some of the easier things that take a long time like painting everywhere (and sorting tradespeople for the big, complex things) 😅 I hope you're doing well too, enjoy the new job!
#TheHouseOfFrostAndFeathers by Lauren Wiesebron is a highly original fantasy novel steeped in Slavic folklore. The wonderfully vivid world within its paged is filled with magic, mystery, and found family... Full review >> bit.ly/FrostAndFeat... Thx, @hodderscape.bsky.social @georgebiggs.bsky.social!
Hello! I'm good. Not on social media much these days (hence the slow response, oops). I bought my first (and hopefully last) house last year and moved to Hampshire. So in between work I've been busy doing it up, which has been very busy and a steep learning curve!
This is brilliant news, @dawnburnett.bsky.social - congrats! Love the Nancy Birtwhistle books they publish 🤩
I adore the #BlossomHeath novels by Julie Haworth so I'm excited to join the reveal for #BeasBookWagon, out on 9 October from @simonandschuster.bsky.social >>

Thanks for the gorgeous review, Zarina, and consider your comment about wild swimming and swans duly noted.
Thanks so much for reading and replying, Robert! I look forward to more wild swimming and swans in Judith's future ;) Also, wishing you a wonderful publication day, may there be cake aplenty to celebrate.
#MurderOnTheMarlowBelle by @robthor.bsky.social is published today by @hqstories.bsky.social!
It's a wonderful addition to the #MarlowMurderClub series, set in the world of amateur theatre 🎭
Needless to say, it's rife with secrets, divas, backstabbing, egos, and murder... 👉 bit.ly/MurderMarlow...
It's only October and I've already received the BEST Christmas gift of the year! An incredible package of goodies and a copy of #TheChristmasAppeal (out 26 Oct.) by the legend that is Janice Hallett! Thank you SO much @rachelmayquin.bsky.social & Viper Books for making my day (nay year!) 🎅🔪
It's Christmas in October with these festive books I've just read, which are all out now (or very soon!):
⭐ A Winter Wedding at Starcross Manor by Christie Barlow
⭐ That Festive Feeling by Heidi Swain
⭐ Countdown to Christmas by Jo Thomas
⭐ It Always Snows on Mistletoe Square by Ali McNamara
Oh I love this good news thread! Mine is a surprise lovely letter from a friend in the post with handmade pumpkin ornaments to celebrate my favourite season 😭🎃 Also, the new season of Ghosts starting on BBC tonight! 👻
I very much relate to that last statement 😂
👋👋👋
👋You're doing a lot better than me finding people! 😂 thanks for the repost though!
So what you're saying is you'll have a library room soon? 😂
You can maybe fit a narrow one in where the trolley is and put the trolley in front of it. That's what I'm doing 😏
