USA Today Bestselling Author Susan Stephens

Autumn is such an exciting time....

Wet, cold, too hot sporadically, yet absolutely wonderful!

Set as it is here in the Northern Hemisphere between high summer - for which read really WET lol - and Christmas - Yay! Which is all about cuddling up to stay warm in front of log fires while drinking hot chocolate and reading as many books as you possibly can...🙂📚🙂

Here are 3 of my favourite recent reads for your consideration...

Harper Ford's debut is a laugh-out-loud, irreverent and relatable romcom romance with a 50 year old woman as it gutsy heroine. Already racing up the charts this is definitely one to lighten those dreary evenings after a long day at work.

Liz Fielding is one of my all time favourite authors and this change of pace from pure romance to the mystery of a small town murder does not disappoint. I ready it in two greedy gulps and can't wait to get Liz's next book in this genre into my hands.

And who can resist a Regency duke? Not me, that's for sure! So my final suggestion has to be the inimitable Carole Mortimer's latest scorcher, The Hero.

Join me next month for news of our transatlantic cruise!! I'm so excited. This has been on Mr S's bucket list for a while, and finally we're setting sail, so please do share in this amazing adventure through the pictures I'm going to post.

In the meantime, here are a few - shall we call them 'atmospheric' pics of autumn in the north of England?? It's still very beautiful even with those lowering skies. No wonder Wuthering Heights was set in this area! You can practically feel the drama as you walk across the moors... (I posted the last of these pics because my granny used to say, 'If you can see a patch of blue sky big enough to make a pair of sailor's trousers, it won't rain) Thank goodness granny was right. 🤣

Lots of love from me to you. Wishing you a healthy, happy and loving month of October full of great books and warm friendship.
