Happy publication day to @PenguinIEBooks author #LizNugent on the release of her new book called ‘The Truth about Ruby Cooper’ a dark and tangled story riddled with lies and betrayal. #BookReview #TheTruthAboutRubyCooper

Happy publication day to @MichaelJBooks author @LesleyPearse on the release of her book called ‘The Girl with the Suitcase’. Looking forward to reading this one soon. Thank you @ed_pr for the copy of the book. #TheGirlWithTheSuitCase

@BridgeBooksDro1 @K25052Knapp I bought it the last time I was in with you and thinking of recommending it for my next book club.

Yes, I'm late to The Names party, but it was well worth waiting for! This is the story of love, cruelty, survival, violence, resistance, courage, and hope. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time. I would have The Names on every A Level syllabus in the country.

‘Bring Me Sunshine’ is by @BoldwoodBooks author @alexbrownbooks is a beautifully written story that will brighten up the darkest of days and is a glorious book about friendship and was an absolute page turner from the first page.

‘The Honeymoon Affair’ by @headlinepg author #SheilaOFlanagan, a story that I couldn’t put down, flowing at a lovely pace and strong relatable characters and a plotline that I was fully invested in. #TheHoneymoonAffair #BookReview

Today’s reading. What’s yours?

I’m so excited to be part of the book reveal for bestselling author @lisajewelluk’s brand new thriller IT COULD HAVE BEEN HER, out on 2 July 2026. You can preorder from @Waterstones and get signed copies for half-price at this link: waterstones.com/book/it-could-…

‘A Friend of the Family’ by @deankoontz is a beautifully written story about finding your place in life and never giving up. #AFriendOfTheFamily #BookReview @FMcMAssociates

‘A Song for Me and You’ by @HodderBooks author @mikegayle is a beautifully written story about reconnecting and new beginnings. It’s the first book I’ve read by Mike in a while and I loved it! #BookReview

‘The Compound’ is the debut novel by @BoroughPress author @AislingRawle and is a cleverly written story with a protagonist that is both likeable and dislikable in equal measures. An addictive debut that was impossible to put down. #BookReview #TheCompound #AislingRawle

My first review of 2026 and it’s a festive one! ‘Let the Bells Ring’ by @TeamBATC author @millyjohnson is the perfect story to get absorbed in whatever the season. #LetTheBellsRingOut #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews/l…

@louise_candlish Already half way through it!

@handwritten Enjoy! ☺️

A new year, a new book @louise_candlish

Such sad news to hear of the passing of #SophieKinsella, I absolutely loved the Shopaholic series and ‘Can You Keep A Secret?’ was one of my favourite books, a terrible loss to the book world. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’m really enjoying reading ‘A Heart for Christmas’ by #SophieJomain, a book Advent calendar that eases the busy person back into reading with one chapter a day, a sweet and warm-hearted story minus the calories. #AHeartForChristmas

Look at the absolutely gorgeous cover to the new book by @TeamBATC author @etnerapwrites called ‘Return to Sender’, thinking of adding it to your TBR pile? Then read more here! simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Return-t…

I’ve started to watch ‘All Her Fault’ by @AndreaMaraBooks and honestly, I don’t know how I’m not going binge this in one go. It’s so good, intense and every parents nightmare!

@sheilaoflanagan @mikephilpott @BridgeBooksDro1 I’ve taken on your advice Sheila and here’s where I’m at! Second night running, around 1200 words both nights.

Had such a lovely evening listening to @sheilaoflanagan speak with @mikephilpott as part of @BridgeBooksDro1 #IrishBookWeek events, she was funny, warm and had us all in the palm of her hands with her stories. She also shared some writing tips that I’ve already put into action!

Happy Saturday, look at the stunning cover for @TeamBATC author @katelordbrown! Crossing oceans, cultures and timelines, #TheSilverThread is a sweeping tale of enduring and everlasting love, set between London in 1875, Paris in 1985 and Tokyo. simonandschuster.co.uk/books/The-Silv…
