Some authors want to be bestsellers or to win literary prizes, but I think my chief ambition as a writer is to one day be in the #hiddenbooksgame.

As ever, I am absolutely loving the #hiddenbooksgame, but I am stumped on the hair and the social calendar.

Psst! This VERY exciting new anthology all about Jane Austen is out now, and I have an essay featured in it, all about my love of Jane Austen and how it’s grown over the years. I had a great time celebrating the launch last night, and I can’t wait to read everyone else’s contributions.

Ten years ago today, I made the life-changing decision to start a #Booktube channel.
A decade on, Booktube has brought me so many amazing friends from all over the world, so many great book recommendations and so much utter joy. 🥰📚

Very excited to see the #WalterScottPrize 2025 longlist released today 🥳
I've read 1/12 so far (Glorious Exploits, which I entirely recommend – what a book!) and can't wait to get to the rest.

Hello, Bluesky! 👋
I'm Katie. I like books (reading them, editing them, writing them, talking about them on the internet). When I'm not writing historical novels, I'm usually to be found talking rapidly about the books I read over on Books and Things on Booktube: www.youtube.com/@katiejlumsden 📚
