I'm sharing my January wrapup over on Instagram. Despite being busy with work and binging the heck out of The Traitors, I read quite a lot. There were some exceptional books. Find out which were my favourites on IG ❤️ www.instagram.com/p/DFkxCZrt5A...

My review of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social is on IG. If you're looking for a straight-up horror novel then this isn't it, but if you want an anger-inducing and at times heartbreaking story about female rage, then you need to read this. www.instagram.com/p/DFHm5JHtdI...

I've been rubbish at posting on here (and social media in general, tbh) but I'm sharing my review of the amazing The Axeman's Carnival by @catherinechidgey.bsky.social on Instagram, which is set to be one of my top books of 2025 (yes, already). www.instagram.com/p/DE6vtxXNvb...

This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.

I've been a fan of Matt's since his Man vs. Baby days (we had our children around the same time) and this, his debut novel, is just joyous. @manvsbaby.bsky.social @wildfirebooks.bsky.social @headlinebooks.bsky.social

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Snow is falling in London (son sent us a video!) so thought you might like a reminder that here in Scotland we name the gritting machines and there’s a site that tracks where they all are! My favs are Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Spready Mercury ☃️😂 #writingcommunity #scotland
