- 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). Check out my post 👇 www.instagram.com/p/DUQYovRgnE...
- 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 📖🖤 @panmacmillan.bsky.social
- 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. 🐦⬛ Read my full review here👇 www.instagram.com/p/DT2QAhPgur... @orendabooks.bsky.social

- 🐾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

- 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 👇 www.instagram.com/p/DOgHY-5Ari...
- 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

- 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!
