• We had a fantastic afternoon making these little Pumpkin Pasties from scratch! From picking the pumpkin, to making the purée, to the pastry and filling, we did it all ourselves. This would be a great autumn activity to do with children over half term! Then you can enjoy a sweet or savoury snack whilst you devour the book that inspired them together!

  • Since devouring the first instalment of Scott Lynch’s trilogy, I’ve been really looking forward to reading this! 😍 With one of the most intriguing prologues I’ve ever read, Lynch’s artful world building, trademark witty dialogue and PIRATES (🙌🏻), this is sure to be one of my favourite reads of the year. If you’re a high fantasy fan, I can’t recommend this series enough.

  • I always get a real urge to reread Harry Potter around this time of year and, quite often, I give in. I’ve decide to be strict with myself this time though, because I have too many books that I’ve never read before waiting for me on my shelf! For anyone interested, pictured here is a print of ‘The Reader’ by David Hettinger. Isn’t it gorgeous?

  • “We were always surrounded by books and words and poetry, all the fierce passions of the world bound in leather and vellum.” Autumn is well and truly upon us now and this is a perfect read for October! Think The Secret History but theatre and Shakespeare rather than classics. SO MUCH FUN! Have any of you read it?

  • Alisha took this magical shot in honour of today’s date. Isn’t it stunning? 😍 I bet there’s plenty of children out there that are back to school next week who just wish they’d been heading off to Hogwarts today 🚂 Do you have any of the beautiful illustrated editions of Harry Potter as shown here?

  • Finally got round to reading this and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Not your typical beach read (this lucky bookworm is currently on holiday!) but absolutely fascinating and every bit as readable. Has anyone who has read this also read Dr Sue Black’s ‘All That Remains’? Another fantastic and informative memoir, especially if you are interested in learning more on how pathologists handle the aftermath of natural disasters, massacres and terrorist attacks!
