BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

January/February 2026

One of my favourite books from my childhood is I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

I definitely cried over that book a lot when I was a teenager. Anytime I'm sad, I want to reread it. Things that make me cry are usually cathartic.

One of my favourite writers is V.E. Schwab – she's my favourite classic fantasy author. I'm sure that would make her feel old if I said it that way! But I think The Shades of Magic series is the quintessential fantasy series.

One of my favourite books of all time is Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas. I would be so excited if she wrote another one.

I love Isabel Cañas. Her next book is a Gothic romance titled The Possession of Alba Díaz, which is really good. I think it's her best one yet. Isabel writes historical novels – and as with all her work, it's about colonialism. It's about a silver mine; there's a family with hidden secrets and a love story where there's a demon involved. I just devoured it.

RISE of the MACHINES

AI - it's all anyone talks about these days. Businesses are pushing it into our daily lives at an alarming rate and, yes, ChatGPT is handy for presentations. But before you embrace large language models as your new life coach/ assistant/significant other, it's worth looking at some of the red flags and ripple effects.
