Happy New Year, everyone! 🥂🎆 I hope your 2026 is filled with books!

In 2025 I read 37 books, but these were my top 5, in order. So Thrilled For You by Holly Bourne was my favourite by some distance!

The Cards We're Dealt is now available on Kindle Unlimited!

Perfect for readers looking for meatier themes, complicated relationships, and threads of musical ambition and family running through it all.

Of all of Emily Henry's books, I think this might be my favourite cover. I just love the colours on it! Hope the story is as good.

Officially #amediting! A few chapters need a rewrite for a major change I'm introducing, but I'll deal with them when I get there.

Until then, it's chapter by chapter, and I give each chapter 4-5 rounds of edits for different things.

Time to dust off my editing checklist!

Family are visiting so they brought over my most recent book purchases from the last Waterstones double points and some birthday presents to myself I bought back in April. Which one would you pick first?

After THAT ending to Six of Crows, I had to go straight to the library and take out book 2, Crooked Kingdom. Perfect reading on the train to Madrid.

Book post! I ordered this one so long ago with birthday money that I'd forgotten I'd ordered it 😅 Spain's post system is questionable at best

Had a long overdue visit to the hairdresser this morning and feeling nice and relaxed. Now's as good a time as any to change my profile pic since it's about 5 years old, I think 😅 New pic courtesy of my 6 year old who takes much better photos than my husband 😆
