We read books, actually we buy more than we read but the *judgement* was not needed there. We love talking about books. And life. And love. Oh and I can guarantee that you're going to end up laughing. We are Beth and Syd, open a bottle of wine and press play.
Want to know what books are hitting the shelves in October, or have already made an apperance? Here are the ones I am most looking forward to.
Grab a drink, alcoholic or not, and get a notebook out for some notes. And know I must read about ghost tour guides hexed to fall in love...

Tropesick: "and the best game we have ever come up with"
Reliving summer and the romance season of dreams, we dive into the world of "Tropesick" and the idea of tropes coming to life in a story.
That then does lead us to picking random prompts and trying to make a story out of them - which we would recommend at your next book club.
Grab a spinning wheel, maybe a cat too, and dream of your favourite tropes with us.
Thanks to Hodder for sending us this book, we had the time of our lives if you couldn't tell.
