July was a great reading month with all books 4🌟 + and I even managed to read 3 books beyond me 3 re-reads of our retreat books (which I recommend below). Have you read any of these?

I recommend :
INTO THE BLUE : everyone who likes a love story just grab this.

HORSE : a sweeping story of endurance and love with clever plotting.

FEAST: a beautifully told story of a women coming of age and the magic that is lost.

THE LAST TIME I SAW HER ALIVE : for a winding summertime thriller, great for the UK staycation vibes.

LOCALS : a collection of pubs and stories attached to them - this is the perfect coffee table and hosting book for Londoners.

LIGHT WIELDER : a solid conclusion to the 2 pasty Romantasy but I do recommend reading them together for maximum impact.

This time next week our guests will be arriving to our summertime Cotswolds reading retreat and I’m excited for all the new activities we have planned.

Worth noting that non of our retreat look the same as we plan activities specific to the venue and retreat books on offer. So every offering is bespoke and each weekend unique.

Excited to host at the fabulous .minstermill

This time next week our guests will be arriving for the summertime Cotswolds Reading retreat and Im excited for quite a few of the NEW activities planned.

Worth noting that no retreat looks the same, as we pull inspiration from the venue, our retreat books and authors, to organise truly bespoke experiences each time.

Looking forward to hosting and at .minstermill

Who needs a Friday night club when you have retreats like this?

A few snapshots from our previous reading weekends - lots of smiles, good food, nice wine and fantastic book chat.

See yourself from a past retreat - please share!

16 books I recommend through the first half of 2026 AND 6 I can’t wait to read later this year.

I’ve had quite particular tastes to start the year and it’s leaning towards a lot of Sci-Fi, dystopian and darker romance themes. But I have also really enjoyed many of the big books making the rounds this year.

What’s your most anticipated book to close out the year?

I’m thinking we will read Barbara Kingsolver’s new book as a group read at the November retreat in Yorkshire. Let me know if you would like to join along!

It’s Indie Bookshop Week here in the UK and I had to make sure to stop by a local to show them some love. I was able to use this little excursion to sneak out for my first solo trip since having a baby 3.5 weeks ago and what a treat (thanks mom for holding down the fort).

has been in operating the last 100 years and always has a really nicely procured selection of books. Add in a sunny morning and the whole location + experience is top notch London summertime vibes.

I came away with:
NEW RELEASE - The Calamity Club by
PAPERBACK - The Eights by
CLASSIC - The Girls by John Bowen
…. And a 👶📕

Highly recommend the store and the shopping strip if your are in South London!

Forget about the crazy medical procedures… For a longer, more fulfilling life, drop everything and get together with some well read women. It really is that simple.

Studies show that readers have less anxiety and improve sleep quality! Studies also show that strong female friendships are the key to long term happiness.

We are just here going along with the science! Hope you can join a retreat soon this year.

Lots of variety in my recommended books from April. I’ve crossed a few genres and generally had a good time, but also went off the deep end with a few choice selections.

Recommended:
Non-Fiction: Materscence 4 🌟
Fiction: Wild Dark Shore 4.25 🌟
Dark Romance: Bad Bishop 4.25 🌟
Science Fiction: Project Hail Mary 5 🌟

I finished another 4 that were so-so, and I also have about 4 books on the go which is very unlike me…but I’m currently the queen of mood reading. Here’s to winging it a bit more in May as well!

Anyone else mix their genres so drastically?

A new treat for our summertime guests as we are working with illustrator to celebrate her debut book, ‘Locals’. This covers 60 amazing pubs in London and showcases Lydia’s sketch’s of their exterior, but also provides stories and histories of each individual pub.

Lydia is on a mission to draw all 3,500 pubs in London, and will be joining us to sketch the local pub, The Old Swan, and provide some instruction and tips for our guests to create our own art of the local Cotswolds village, Minster Lovell. .minstermill

We hope you can join us for this mixture of storytelling and art in 3 months time. Drop me a DM for room availability.
