Send us a text This week we’re asking the important questions. What actually makes a great villain? Is it the trauma? The moral greyness? The unhinged behaviour we absolutely should not be rooting for… but kind of are? We dive into our favourite fictional villains, the ones who live rent-free in our heads, before turning our attention to Credence – a book that is many things, not least emotionally chaotic, deeply uncomfortable, and impossible to stop talking about. Expect messy family dynamic...
Send us a text This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, we’ve somehow ended up discussing two wildly different books in one cosy little episode. First up: Knifed — featuring a super soldier and a premise that made us pause, blink, and say, “Right. Go on then.” It’s weird, it’s bold, and it sent us down a very specific rabbit hole. Then we swing hard into Broken Princess, a dark mafia romance that delivers exactly what it promises: power, control, danger, and characters making choices that would a...
Send us a text This week, we’re chatting about Scrapbook of an Unfound Songstress by Vicky Nolan — a book that feels like flicking through a scrapbook of half-remembered songs, lost voices, and the stories we build around them. We talk creativity, memory, identity, and the quiet ache of things that almost were. Somewhere along the way, the conversation takes a turn into an apocalypse hypothetical — specifically, who we’d want to spend the end of the world with (emotionally, not strategically)...
Send us a text This week’s episode is exactly as unhinged as the title suggests ☕🦆 We’re joined by the wonderful Emily Catlow for a cosy (and slightly chaotic) chat about The Secret We Keep – a book packed with tension, secrets, and the kind of emotional moments that make you stare into your mug and reassess your life choices. Expect honest conversations about complicated relationships, quiet heartbreaks, and the very real art of pretending you’re fine when you absolutely are not. Rosie...
Send us a text This week we’re joined by Nan Tuckette for a very civil, absolutely normal untucked chat that definitely stays on topic. We talk books, reading habits, and then — inevitably — Heated Rivalry, a MM hockey romance that has no business being as addictive as it is. There are opinions. There is banter. There is a surprising amount of investment in fictional men who should probably communicate better. As ever, we discuss what worked, what made us sigh, and why this book continues to ...
Send us a text This week, Rosie fully commits to chaos and reads Frisky the Snowman for her Bit on the Side, and honestly… we’re still processing it. Expect festive filth, unexpected feelings about snowmen, and several moments where we question all of our life choices. We’re also joined by author Jennifer Taylor-Gray for a brilliant chat about writing with humour, leaning into the ridiculous, and the absolute joy that is the Old Crones Club. We talk community, creativity, ageing disgracefully...
Send us a text This week we’re diving into The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore, a festive romance packed with small-town charm, cosy winter vibes, and enough holiday sparkle to make even the Grinch crack a smile. We chat through the book’s sweetest moments, its most chaotic characters, and — because it simply has to be addressed — the most awkward smut scene we’ve ever read. Yes, ever. We survived it so you don’t have to. Join us for tangents, questionable analogies, mild thirsting, and...
Send us a text This week we’re diving into a wild mix of vinegary chaos and fiery fantasy as we chat with the brilliant Paola Santana. Expect laughter, questionable metaphors, and a few moments where we almost behave like a serious book club. Almost. We explore Paola’s world of love, mischief, and morally dodgy decisions, alongside the usual tangents involving pickles, cousins, and whatever else our brains decided to contribute on the day. It’s warm, witty, and just the right amount of unhing...
Send us a text In this week’s episode, Katy and Rosie tackle the all-important question: which book deserves the next big TV or film adaptation—and why are some of them already practically storyboards waiting to happen? Expect strong opinions, mild chaos, and at least one moment where Rosie forgets what genre we’re even talking about. We then dive headfirst into Never Bound by Rosemary Hart—a world of danger, devotion, and deliciously tense moments that had us both clutching our cosy mugs. We...
Send us a text In this utterly chaotic solo ramble, Niles takes the mic (and absolutely runs with it) to deliver a historical footnote no one asked for but everyone will be weirdly glad they heard. It’s just him, talking to himself about witchcraft, going off on tangents, correcting his own tangents, and occasionally arguing with imaginary academics. It’s unhinged, unexpectedly informative, and exactly the sort of bonus content that proves why he should never be left unsupervised. Support the...
Send us a text This week, Rosie traumatises the nation with a deeply unnecessary deep-dive into meat and its… juices. Katy tries not to be sick, and we both attempt to recover in time to chat with the brilliant Theo T. Greenshaw about his dark, twisty novel Witchcraft and Fury. Expect magic, mayhem, questionable metaphors, and two hosts desperately trying not to think about gravy ever again. Edited by the wonderful: Kelly Jones Fantasy Author (Blame her) Support the show Check out our socials...
Send us a text This week we somehow end up covering a lamp, a labyrinth, and When the World Falls Down by Jordan Lynde. Rosie shares her latest lamp-related revelation, Niles does his best to guide us through labyrinths both literal and literary, and we take a dry but oddly dedicated deep dive into Lynde’s world. It’s Episode Thirty: at this point, we’ve all accepted the chaos. Support the show Check out our socials: TikTok Instagram YouTube Niles' Historical Footnotes Edited by: Kell...
Send us a text This week, Katy and Rosie are joined by author Simon Henderson to chat about his gripping novella Blood on the Prairie — a dark, atmospheric tale that’ll have you side-eyeing the open plains. We also welcome Niles from Time Travel TV to give us some historical insight into the Wild West! Meanwhile, the hosts tackle a very pressing question: which fictional couple would have the most awkward first time? Expect chaos, questionable logic, and far too much laughter for such a serio...
Send us a text In this special bonus episode, Kelly Jones Fantasy Author takes us on a wild ride through How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Reilley, one chaotic voice note at a time. Expect a few moments that probably shouldn’t be played in polite company. Support the show Check out our socials: TikTok Instagram YouTube Niles' Historical Footnotes Edited by: Kelly Jones Fantasy Author
Send us a text This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, Katy and Rosie are joined by the brilliant Marnie L. Norton, author of Blood Hunt, for a quick chat about all things witchy and wicked. Then it’s over to Rosie’s very organised “Bit on the Side” — yes, it’s about a sexy filing cabinet (we don’t know either). Finally, the duo dive deep into How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Reilley — book one in the Infatuated Fae series. Katy’s utterly obsessed, Rosie’s... well, less so. Expect chaos, mild thir...
Send us a text This week, Katy and Rosie head into the woods to chat about Sam Evans’ gripping murder mystery, In the Woods Somewhere. They’re joined by the author herself to talk twists, tension, and what really makes a good whodunnit. Naturally, things spiral into chaos when the conversation turns to travel — because of course the girls ask: which awful fictional place could we sell as a holiday rep? Expect shady sales pitches, suspiciously cheerful resort ads for the underworld, and a few ...
Send us a text In this week’s episode of The Cosy Cup Book Club, things get spookily spicy. Rosie’s Bit on the Side dives into the very niche world of ghostly get-downs — yes, we’re talking spectral seduction and paranormal passion. We deep dive into Vexed by Monique Koen — a sharp, funny, and emotionally charged read that’s left us both swooning. Expect chaos, questionable ethics, and a few supernatural side-eyes. Grab your brew, hold onto your Ouija board, and join us for an episode t...
Send us a text This week, we’re asking the all-important question: which villain do we actually agree with? From scheming masterminds to tragic anti-heroes, we’re diving into the murky world of moral grey areas and seeing which side we’d really pick. We’re also joined by the brilliant Melissa Addey, author of From the Ashes — a beautifully researched historical novel set in Rome, following the workers who built the grand amphitheatre in Pompeii's shadow. Expect fiery debates, unexpected...
Send us a text This week, we take a very deep dive into the utterly unhinged and unexpectedly heartfelt world of Morning Glory Milking Farm — yes, that book. Expect laughter, chaos, and maybe a few awkward silences as we try to process just how wholesome monster smut can be. Rosie brings the chills with a special Spooky Bit on the Side, joined by the brilliant Charlie Fights, who proves you can be both tough and terrified. Grab your cuppa (and maybe a towel), because this episode gets messy i...
Send us a text This week we tackle the age-old dilemma: which fictional character would actually make the perfect flatmate (spoiler — most of them would eat your food and never take the bins out). We also chat with author Liz Shipton about her sharp and spellbinding new release Dot Slash Magic, diving into coding, chaos, and why witchcraft pairs so well with tech support. Expect sarcasm, tea, and at least one rant about passive-aggressive fridge notes. Support the show Check out our socials: ...
