The Cosy Cup Book Club

Send us Fan Mail 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 com...

Send us Fan Mail 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, an...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 w...

Send us Fan Mail 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. Ed...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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.

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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 holi...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 ca...

Send us Fan Mail 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, a...

Send us Fan Mail Rosie’s Bit on the Side tackles the delicate art of mantis mating – spoiler: someone always loses their head. Then we sharpen our fangs and sink into Kiss of the Basilisk , unpicking the romance, the reptiles, and the bits that make you question whether the author was entirely sober. Support the show Check out our socials: TikTok   Instagram   YouTube  Niles' Historical Footn...

Send us Fan Mail This week we tackle the vital question: which fictional character would you actually trust with your child… or at least your dog? (Spoiler: not many. Frankly, most of them would forget the snacks, lose the child, and set fire to the house.) Then, in a far more responsible turn, we chat with author Ash Rose about her deliciously sinful new release Sweet as Sin . Expect laughter, qu...

Send us Fan Mail Rosie kicks things off with a Bit on the Side about balloons (yes, the rubber ones, and yes, she has strong opinions). Then we both plunge into the delicious chaos that is Butcher & Blackbird —a book full of murder, banter, and enough questionable life choices to make us feel almost well-adjusted. Episode twenty: still here, still reading, still mildly unhinged. Support the sh...

Send us Fan Mail This week we dive into Jack L. Dempsey: The Fatal Fly and Other Tales — a collection that’s as curious as its title suggests. Between the sharp storytelling and the stranger moments, we somehow end up asking the truly important question: if you could land your dream fictional job, what would it be? Expect books, banter, and a few career paths that should never make it onto LinkedI...

Send us Fan Mail Rosie’s bit on the side this week is Spooned , and yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds. Once she’s finished arguing the case for cutlery-based fiction, we head into Chasing the Wild by Elliott Rose. Cowboys, Montana, an age gap romance, and the inevitable snowed-in cabin scenario that tests both survival skills and common sense. We pick apart the drama, the dynamics, and th...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we welcome author Paul J Kearns to chat about his dark fantasy Beasts of Immortality – and it gets deep. We also tackle the all-important question: if you could invite anyone (real or fictional) to a dinner party, who’s getting a seat… and who’s banned from bringing Tupperware. Support the show Check out our socials: TikTok   Instagram   YouTube  Niles' Historical...

Send us Fan Mail Rosie’s “bit on the side” has gone full Cupid this week — hearts, arrows, questionable life choices. Then we dive headfirst into Pirate’s Witch by Jessamine Rue: six men, one woman, and enough tension to sink a galleon. Magic, mutiny, and more innuendo than is strictly necessary (but we’re not complaining). Cuppas at the ready — it’s about to get steamy on deck. Support the show C...

Send us Fan Mail If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want with you? A survival expert? A sexy fictional book character? Someone who can open a coconut without crying?

We chat about Fern’s jour...

Complete with gruff men, questionable workplace HR policies, and one very dominant desk. Meanwhile, Rosie delivers a birthday-themed Bit on the Side that includes a man who literally turns into a gift box. You read that right. Unwrap this episode for a dose of unhin...
