If you're a romance girlie but fancy something with a spooky edge, think ghost-busting whilst navigating a love triangle, 'crazy spooky love' might be just the tonic. Josie Silver's new novel is being praised as the perfect cute silly book to get you in the seasonal mood 👻

It's Alive! The spooky season is in full swing! So as the nights draw in why not curl up and get into the Halloween spirit by reading the classic Frankenstein by Mary Shelley! Compare it with the new Guillermo del Toro film! 🎃👻

'The Enchanted Greenhouse' by Sarah Beth Durst. The story feels like a warm hug, Sarah yet again creates characters that feel so familiar and loveable in a world you can't wait to return to. If you needed any more convincing, this book features a winged cat...enough said 😸
