I absolutely adore the "Conrad the Cat Detective" book series by L.T Shearer as it combines two of my absolute favourite things: cats and crime novels. And since adopting my own feline friend last month, diving back into this series felt even more special as we were able to enjoy the book "together" :)
There's nothing quite like a witchy read this time of year to ring in spooky season, so today I'm delighted to put the spotlight on Two's a Charm by Heather Spellman.
I'm a Julie Haworth super fan. Ever since she first transported me to the fictional village of Blossom Heath in her debut novel, Always By Your Side, I knew I was going to devour every subsequent book by her hand. So when I got my excited fingers on a proof of her latest novel, Bea's Book Wagon, at the start of the year I simply did not have the willpower to wait to return to this wonderful Sussex village, and I read – and reviewed – the book 6 months before it actually came out. #sorrynotsorry 
Ever since reading the delightful Phoebe Winchester series by Gretchen Rue, I've adored the whole "small town romance with a witchy twist" genre (yes, I'm calling it a genre). So I was delighted when I got my eager hands on Love's a Witch, especially when I realised it was set in beautiful Scotland (hello hunky Scottish men!). And, let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
The "-ber" months have started, which can mean only one thing... (okay, two): time for my umpteenth rewatch of Gilmore Girls and the start of cosy reading season! 🎃 🍂 And what better way to kick this off than with the latest Heidi Swain book?! One which had me "all wrapped up" in its autumnal cover and heart-warming story. It's the perfect comfy read to curl up with with a cup of hot chocolate on the side (with an obligatory sprinkling of pumpkin spice on top, of course). 
While it may not *officially* be summer yet, it's certainly been feeling like it has been these past few weeks – and nothing quite beats a fun romcom this time of year. Whether reading on the beach, in a park, in the garden, or you just have as many doors and windows open to imagine being outside somewhere instead of reading on your sofa... romance fiction from Books and the City (part of Simon & Schuster in the UK) always hits just the right spot. And with Book Boyfriend by Lucy Vine, they have another winning holiday read on their hands!
