The Cosy Cup Book Club

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie are joined by the wonderful Emma Hine to chat about her debut novel The Power of the Wouivre: Fiorenza, a YA historical time travel adventure that will pull you straight into the streets of 13th century Tuscany. A Cornish teen discovers he can slip into the mind of a medieval Sienese nobleman called Guidaloste, just as Guidaloste uncovers a family legacy s...

Send us Fan Mail We’re back! Did you miss us? Don’t answer that. This week Katy and Rosie return from their little hiatus with an absolute belter of an episode. We’re joined by the lovely H.R. Lloyd to chat about The F*ck-It List, book one of the series. It’s a grumpy sunshine romcom set in the cosiest little café you’ve ever imagined, it’s got spice that will make your ears go pink. We had though...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie are joined by the wonderful Anna Caig to chat about her debut novel The Wise Witch of Orkney — and it is an absolute gem. Set in 1593 Scotland, King James VI is launching a bloody witch hunt across the country — but the women he fears most are already inside his court. Elspet Balfour is a spae-wife — a wise woman and healer from the Orkney isles — disguise...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie tackle the question everyone has secretly thought about — which book character would you actually want to be stuck in a lift with? The debate gets chaotic, the choices get suspicious, and nobody picks someone sensible. Then we deep dive into the BookTok phenomenon that started it all — Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. Georgie is an ordinary woman abduc...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie are joined by the lovely JJ Cross — romance author, caffeine enthusiast, and proud owner of more notebooks than is strictly reasonable — to chat about her debut novel Built on Love, book one of the Peterson Brothers series. It’s a friends-to-lovers romantic suspense with found family vibes, a book boyfriend thoroughly wrapped in green flags, and enough twi...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Katy and Rosie are trying something a little different… and potentially a little dangerous for the internet. Rosie has been reading Powerless by Lauren Roberts by, while Katy has been reading The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. And we’re asking the question BookTok has been arguing about for months… Is one a rip-off of the other? Or are they simply two completely differe...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie are joined by the wonderful Ali Fischer — Finance Manager by day, hopeless romantic by night — to chat about Jess’s Story, the final book in her spicy Book Club series. Jess has spent her whole life being told to look pretty, marry well, and produce an heir — until her dad tries to use her as a bargaining chip in a business deal.  That is, until a trip to...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie dive into The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson — the USA Today bestselling dark romantasy that BookTok has been absolutely feral about. Meet Harlow Carrenwell: poison-lipped vigilante, reluctant assassin, and woman who has killed every man she’s ever kissed — until she meets the one man who survives.  When her new betrothed Henry Havenwood turns out to...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are joined by the wonderful Zoe Caryl, to talk about her first novel Julia Sleeps — a female-driven historical fiction set in 1930s Glasgow following Evie Jameson, a tenement girl with a voice that stops rooms, who is determined to turn her passion for singing into a career.   Plus Rosie’s Bit on the Side this week features a piece of pasta that becomes a man and has...

Send us Fan Mail This week Katy and Rosie tackle the big questions — specifically, which fictional character would you actually want looking after you when you’re ill? The debate gets heated, the choices get questionable, and nobody is picking sensibly. Then we dive into Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton — the BookTok sensation that broke the internet (and briefly got banned from Amazon). It’s a da...

Send us Fan Mail This week things get a little unconventional — Rebecca Black (no, not that one) couldn’t join us in person, so Katy asked the questions and Rosie channelled her inner author to read out Rebecca’s written answers. Was it journalism? Was it theatre? Everything is hearsay, really. We do a shallow dive into Rebecca’s debut Everything is Hearsay — a rockstar romance following a Bristol...

Send us Fan Mail The Cosy Cup Bookclub | The Deal by Elle Kennedy This week Katy and Rosie are diving into a certified BookTok classic — The Deal by Elle Kennedy, book one of the Off-Campus series. We’re talking fake dating, slow burn, hockey boys with suspiciously good banter, and one very inconvenient deal that was never going to end well for anyone’s heart. Hannah and Garrett, we see you. We br...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re sipping something questionable and diving into In Plain Sight with the brilliant Esme Taylor—chatting twists, tension, and the kind of moments that make you immediately distrust everyone, including yourself. Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a turn into Vined and Dined … which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds. Expect strong opinions, questionable connections, and at...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re diving into Two Truths and a Lie by Annie Abel — a book that had us questioning everything… including our own emotional stability. We’re talking:  enemies-to-lovers tension that feels personally targeted  chaotic men with suspiciously soft centres   and the very real question… who exactly would drag us into a life of chaos, and why are we saying yes so quickly? Ex...

Send us Fan Mail This week we’re joined by author Billie Jade Kermack , chatting about her book Veiled Obsessions , the inspiration behind it, and what it’s really like writing stories that live rent-free in readers’ heads. Along the way we get into the usual cosy chaos, including writing chat, bookish confessions, and the kind of tangents that make perfect sense at the time but sound completely u...

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club , Katy and Rosie dive into Lights Out by Navessa Allen , a dark romance that proves the line between terrifying and tantalising is apparently very thin. Expect chaotic opinions, questionable life advice inspired by fictional men, and the usual honest reactions when a book decides to absolutely unhinge itself halfway through. We attempt to answer...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are joined by author Jadella Gold to chat about her book Cute Little Hand Grenade , a story that packs far more punch than its title politely suggests. We talk about the inspiration behind the book, the characters that refuse to behave themselves, and the kind of plot twists that leave you staring at the page thinking, “well… that escalated quickly.” As always, things...

Send us Fan Mail  We’re doing a full deep-dive into Deep End by Ali Hazelwood — the tension, the tropes, the chemistry that could power the National Grid, and the moments that had us pausing to stare dramatically into the middle distance. Is it peak Hazelwood? Is it feral? Is it soft? Is it both? We discuss. There is, of course, chaos. And because we can never stay on topic for long, we also answe...

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club , we’re joined by author Merel van der Calk to chat about her romantasy novel Veiled in Grey — secrets, tension, morally questionable decisions, and the kind of emotional damage we absolutely signed up for. Meanwhile, Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a truly unhinged turn into literary territory nobody asked for but everyone now has to live with: a...

Send us Fan Mail This week we’re diving into First Time Caller We chat first impressions, emotional damage, romantic tension, and the characters we would one hundred per cent argue with in real life. Is confidence attractive or just loud? Who thinks they’re mysterious but is actually just bad at communicating? And which book boyfriend would crumble the second he heard “you’re live on air”? As alwa...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Katy and Rosie are joined by S. J. Gathercole for a chat about her gripping novel The People We Trust . They dig into messy friendships, buried secrets, and those unsettling moments when the people closest to you might not be quite who you think they are.  Meanwhile, in Rosie’s Bit on the Side, things take a turn… skyward. A cloud. A sexy cloud. We’re not saying it awak...

Send us Fan Mail 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 emotional...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 hypothetica...

Send us Fan Mail 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...
