Wuthering Heights - what to know before the movie

There is a lot of hype around this new movie… so, before you watch the adaptation, it helps to know what this book actually is (and what it isn’t).

Current read: Trad Wife by Sarah Langan and I’m obsessed.

Only a quarter in and already hooked. Jenny is such a compelling protagonist, and the slow, creeping eeriness around Mia and Black Swan Farm is perfection.

Out May 26 📖🖤

REVIEW
Catherine by Essie Fox is one of those rare novels that doesn’t just re-imagine a classic, it listens to it.

Catherine’s voice is beautiful and timeless.

Emily Brontë would be very proud.

Here are my bookish thoughts for the gloriously gothic and disturbing My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen

This was my audible driving read and it added suspense and atmosphere to every drive!

Curled up in my egg chair with #OurGiftedHearts by Jennifer Kennedy,
rain tapping above, birds singing to each other. The perfect autumn vibe 🍂 tender, emotional and quietly powerful so far.

#qotd - What’s your favourite kind of weather to read in?

🐾CAT LOVER by Dan Spencer🐾

“You invited him in. Now the claws come out.”

A darkly clever story told through Ivy, a lonely A&E doctor & her cat, Berry, who’ll do anything to protect her. Sharp, unsettling & full of bite.

Would your cat protect you…or plot against you?😼

@atlanticbooks.bsky.social

🕸 Current read: Magpie by Elizabeth Day 🕸

Working through my TBR shelves and finally reading those books that have waited far too long. I’ve stacked up some thriller-ish reads for spooky season 🎃

Do you reach for horror this time of year, or prefer dark, twisty suspense? 👀
#currentlyreading

Goddess of love… or spinner of lies?

I adored Herc so I’m thrilled Phoenicia Rogerson has a new story out! 🍃

Zeus gave her riches. She gave him rebellion.
And she intends to win.

#qotd – If you could jump into any book you own, which would it be?

Happy reading,

Just finished Diavola by Jennifer Thorne & wow — that twist at the end completely blindsided me 👏
I thought it was heading one way, but it turned into something darker & even better.

Here’s my review 👇

Just received The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances 📖

She loves your son. She wants your life. How far would you go to protect him?

Twisty, addictive thrillers like this are so my thing!

#qotd: Do you like your thrillers chilling & twisty, or fast-paced & dramatic?

@panmacmillan.bsky.social

Slow, sunny saturday 🌞
No plans today, just books + coffee. after a week of rain i’m craving autumn vibes 🍂 so i’ve added Diavola by jennifer thorne to my current reads.

Q- What are you reading this weekend?

P.s LOVING my new coffee mug from @tkmaxxuk.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social 😍

Thank you Anne 🫶🫶

Just finished Incidents Around The House on Audible 👻
Loved hearing the story from the child’s POV – perfectly creepy in places. The ending worked but felt a bit too abrupt, which left me wanting more. Still, it lingers in your head after, and that’s the mark of a good horror!

🖤 Spellbound by bookmail! The First Witches: Women of Power in the Classical World by Alexis Hannah-Prescott (published 30 June 2025, @pensworldbooks) dives into Circe, Hecate & ancient witchy lore.

Q: Would you choose a night w/ Hecate or Circe? ✨

Ask for Andrea by Noelle W. Ihli Review: Ask for Andrea by Noelle W.IhliEvery so often a book comes along that you cannot put down and #AskforAndrea was exactly that for me. I went in expecting a chilling thriller, but what I got was...

R E V I E W

Couldn’t put down Ask for Andrea by Noelle W. Ihli

Chilling, emotional & utterly addictive.

One of the best thrillers I’ve read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
