    It’s almost the weekend, it’s starting to get into crisp cosy weather (even here in Savannah!), and what better to celebrate both of those things than a new read!

  • Review & Blog Tour | “A Lady’s Guide to Death and Deception”, by Katherine Cowley

    Review & Blog Tour | “A Lady’s Guide to Death and Deception”, by Katherine Cowley

    I’ve been thinking the last few years every time I return to Pride and Prejudice that maybe (just maybe!) Mary Bennet gets a raw deal. Yes, she is a little insufferable, particularly when she is moralising about the virtue of a woman just as Lydia runs off with Wickham, which is both unhelpful and unnecessary read more

    Rereading Jane Austen | Sense and Sensibility

    Inspired by reading about others rereading Jane Austen in the order of publication, and the fact I began 2021 with a head full of Bridgerton (both the Shondaland show and the eight Julia Quinn novels that I binge-read in about two weeks) and Regency history books, I decided it was time to return to Austen’s read more

    Five things to read, listen to and watch for cosy autumn evenings

    I get so excited for every season, but I love the cosiness of autumn as it draws in during September and October. I’m already enjoying eating pumpkin spice-flavoured everything even though Savannah hasn’t cooled down too much yet, and spending evenings curled up with cups of tea and books, as well as exploring things to read more
