It’s Father’s Day on June 21st, so I thought I’d share some books that feature fathers or father figures in some way.

There’s quite a variety here, and the one thing they have in common (apart from the theme, obviously) is that I enjoyed each and every one of them.

I hope you enjoy reading about them, and hopefully you’ll find something you’d like to try for yourself.

Are you a Kindle Unlimited subscriber? Are you guilty of downloading KU books then forgetting all about them? I am, so I decided it was time to start working my way through them!

This week I’m chatting to another author friend, K.T. Dady, who also writes romantasy as Kate Dady. She tells me about her favourite childhood book (which I’d never heard of!) and which one of her own books has a special place in her heart.

I’m delighted to welcome my latest guest on the Let’s Talk Books feature. This week it’s the turn of Jessica Redland, multi-million selling author with Boldwood Books, mother-of-hedgehogs, and expert Sprocker-wrangler! Jessica tells us all about her reading habits and why she’s so reluctant to revisit her favourite books.

As it’s almost Mother’s Day here in the UK, I thought I’d choose some books about mothers. So here are six books, including a collection of short stories, a romcom, and much-loved classics, plus a few of my own books where motherhood is strongly featured.

In the first of my new Let’s Talk Books interviews, I’m chatting to romance author Eliza J Scott about her favourite books, the TV adaptation she most enjoys, and the most precious book she owns, plus lots more.

Looking back at the books I read over the last year and sharing the ones I loved the most.

The books I read during December 2025. What a wonderful selection to finish my year’s reading. Nostalgia, humour, Christmas, and good old-fashioned murder!

Here are all the books I read in November, including Golden Age crime classics, cosy fantasy, contemporary festive romances, a gothic short story classic, and the return of an old favourite.

The books I read and loved during October 2025, featuring Benedict Brown, Agatha Christie, Ruth Jones and James Corden, Abbie Hicks, Phil Rickman, and Christine Pullein-Thompson.

The books I read during September 2025, featuring Sarah Hope, Agatha Christie, Jessica Redland, Dan Brown, LM Montgomery, and Lucy Jane Wood.

A mixed bag of books this month - everything from romance to contemporary fantasy to a children’s mystery. Plus, my first venture into gangland thrillers.

The books I read and loved in July 2025 - featuring Veronica Henry, Agatha Christie, Val Wood, Sue Townsend and K.T. Dady

A mixed bunch for April, including a trip to Rutshire with Jilly Cooper, a double helping of murder via Agatha Christie, and a visit to a magical village with Holly Martin!

Six books read in March, with three four-star, two four-and-a-half-star, and one five-star read!

The books I read in February - all four, four and a half, or five star reads!

After cutting down on my evening television viewing, I managed to fit in eleven books in January. Here’s what I read!
