November’s book is One Last Shot by Betty Cayouette – I can’t believe there’s only one more book to go after this! I’m way behind on my reading this year (more than I care to admit…), but it’s exciting to have a debut novel to look forward to. Has anyone else read this yet?

Manifesto is part memoir, part call to arms – a reminder that there’s power in staying true to your vision even when the path isn’t smooth. It’s an energising, affirming read that lingers long after the final page. #Manifesto #WomensPrize #BookReview #Memoir #book

I love reading 30 min before bed. It’s the best three hours of my day.

Congratulations to my author @EstherStanhope1 on the launch of her new book today! Esther’s new book Visibly Brilliant is packed full of tips so that ‘The Invisibles’, as Esther calls them, can go from technically brilliant to Visibly Brilliant! #booklaunch #TheImpactGuru

October’s book surprise has arrived! (Well, I opened it on 1st October, but forgot to post this!) This month’s book is The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, a title that’s been on my “to-buy” list for a while. #BookHamper #AYearOfBooks #books

I absolutely loved Picture Imperfect. It felt so nostalgic to revisit characters from The Illustrated Mum, a book from my childhood, and to see where life has taken them. Jacqueline Wilson captures that feeling of familiarity and emotional depth so well.

How is it we're debating over the theft of books now? If you are fine with stealing books, what else are you fine with stealing?

This has been on my TBR pile for ages, but I finally got around to reading it… and I absolutely loved it! The twists felt fresh, and I loved how the story kept me guessing right until the end. Definitely a thriller I’ll be recommending. #BookTwitter #fiction

I absolutely loved Raising Hare! Chloe Dalton’s memoir about rescuing and raising a wild leveret in the English countryside is utterly captivating. If you love nature writing with heart and soul, this one’s a real treat. A finalist of the @WomensPrize for Non-Fiction #books

While not typically my go-to genre, I found this book unexpectedly moving. If you’re in the mood for a story about resilience, community, and the power of friendship, this book is for you. #BookTwitter #unlikelyfriendships #womensfiction

My hobbies include going home, wishing I was at home, and being at home.

My freelance week looked a bit different this week! Usually I’m tucked away at my desk, but instead I got to: 📚 Head to the Business Book Awards, where a book I worked on was shortlisted (so exciting!) 🍰 Celebrate someone’s birthday with afternoon tea at The Ivy

I read this in anticipation of the new adult sequel, Picture Imperfect – and it instantly took me back to childhood. It still has that trademark Wilson warmth – messy families, fierce loyalty and kids finding strength in difficult circumstances. A bittersweet, powerful read.

Set on the Dorset coast between the World Wars, The Whalebone Theatre is a story of resilience, reinvention, and the quiet power of creativity in turbulent times. The Whalebone Theatre is rich in atmosphere and character – a perfect read if you enjoy historical fiction!

A powerful little novel about courage, community, and quiet resistance. Set in a small coastal town in 1959, The Bookshop follows Florence Green’s brave attempt to open a bookshop against the odds – and the subtle but brutal pushback she faces from those around her. #books

September’s story has arrived… 🍁📚 There’s something magical about receiving a book you haven’t chosen yourself – a little nudge to explore something new. Excited to see where this month’s surprise from my sister’s hamper will take me! #BookHamper #AYearOfBooks #books

Last night, I got to see my favourite childhood author, Jacqueline Wilson, talk about her second novel for adults, a sequel to The Illustrated Mum. The child in me is so happy… her books shaped my love of reading and inspired my journey into publishing. ✨ #Books #fiction

If you see this tweet that means you deserve to go buy yourself a new book 😘

I had the pleasure of meeting one of my author clients at the iconic British Library today. There’s something magical about discussing books and publishing surrounded by so much literary history. Of course, I had to have a quick look round the shop too!

August’s surprise read is here! 📚🎁 Every month I unwrap a mystery book from the beautiful book hamper my sister made me for Christmas — and this one’s a whopper! It looks like a fun ride though, so I’m excited to get stuck in. Have you read it #BookTwitter?
