Happy belated new year bookends! We're back with a minisode, a real recommendation extravaganza. We talk through our Top 5 books of last year, the 2023 releases we're excited about, the adaptations we're looking forward to, why we should have an adaptation series (all in favour say aye!) and much, much more. We will be bringing lots more of these minisodes to you this year alongside lots more author interviews and debut author highlights!
