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 🐈‍⬛

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 🌸

#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.

#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...

#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...
