I would really like to treat myself to a short story, something snappy and under 200 pages, and I’ve narrowed it down to these 3.
Help me decide! They’re all very different… which one should I go for? 🤔

Of all the plants in our book garden, I think my favourite by far is the Jasmine 🌿 It has lasted beautifully through winter and has filled its area completely; it’s even pinched some of the honeysuckle’s patch!
I’m really looking forward to filling this space with greenery again in Spring ☀️

I’ve just finished The Dead of Winter by Sarah Clegg and it is SUPERB!
I have recently done some research into paganism and ancient beliefs/rituals, aswell as reading a lot about the witch trials, and this book pulled tantalisingly on several threads that linked to these interwoven topics.
