Last month I began to receive the start of the Autumnal and Christmassy books to read, which has been lovely but also insane to believe that the Summer season is almost at an end and the nights will be drawing in with the leaves soon to fall off the trees.

This month my 5 favourites have been hard to pick and my Number 1 Favourite was even harder but my final decision for my best book of August was A Love like Pumpkin Spice.

Release Date 4th September 2025
