I adored this unputdownable novel from #lucysteeds #theartist Very unusual for me to be unable to tear myself away from a book, but this gripped me through sheer luminosity of language and story.

I loved this sparkling debut from @emmacowing.bsky.social Coming this May from @hodderbooks.bsky.social A novel that captures the life of the women who performed in Scotland's showgrounds in the early 1900s beautifully, with added intrigue! #TheShowWoman #historicalfiction #Scottishhistory

It's that time of year, dressing the Christmas tree. (And November is NOT that time of year!). Christmas is great, but not before December.
