Excited to be working on an anniversary campaign for MAIDEN VOYAGE! Written by my client, Bradley Harper, it's a heist story with real-life gang The Forty Elephants. Plus the Titanic, a priceless work of art, an enemies-to-lovers romance, oh, & an iceberg. 😉 Interested in a review ebook? LMK! 💙📚

Oh no! Your account was one of the best things about Threads! I only found out because people are talking about you there & wondering where you are! Love that you’re here now but hope you get back on Threads soon too!

Go find the official trailer - it just cane out a few days ago!! I’m so envious because so far it’s only in cinemas in the UK 😭

Interesting! My husband and I both grew up in Toronto so I find it funny we refer to it differently! LOL

LOL! My husband and I grew up 15 minutes apart in Toronto so it's really weird to me that our families have always called it something different!

I find it so odd that I've always called it Autumn, but my husband & his family all call it Fall. We grew up about 15 minutes apart in Canada! LOL.

Stephanie @bookfrolic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Happy 1st day of Autumn (ie Fall) (in the Northern Hemisphere)! It’s the season for hoodies, warm blankets, cozy mysteries & gothic stories, & warm drinks & treats. Also, oddly, even tho my husband & I grew up in the same area, I call it Autumn & he calls it Fall. WTF? What do you call it?

A graphic with text in pink that reads Autumn Essentials and has watercolour style illustrations of the following items floating around it - a slice of pumpkin pie, a chocolate muffin, a blue hooded sweatshirt, an apple, falling yellow and orange leaves, a beige blanket, a red plaid blanket, a stack of books, a lit which candle, a small white ghost, a clear mug of apple cider, and a pink teacup and saucer

Aw, thank you! I used to bake soooo many cupcakes but I haven’t frosted on in almost 10 years so was nervous but 5yos are pretty easy to impress LOL

Stephanie @bookfrolic.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Thank you! 🥰 I had to use less frosting than the sticker because… 5yo with sugar 😆 But she was really happy, especially with the star sprinkles!

Stephanie @bookfrolic.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I used to bake cupcakes A LOT & would do hundreds of them for family events. About 10 yrs ago I stopped baking them. A few wks ago my 5yo niece asked me for a cupcake (not knowing I baked) to match her sticker. She said, “Don’t worry Auntie if it doesn’t look like my sticker” How’d I do? 🧁

Love this advice - thank you! I’m starting my author journey & definitely need to keep all this in mind. ❤️

Thanks Mark!! I’m just more frustrated with the silly algorithms than anything else! I know people are following me who never see my posts!

“The circus arrives without warning” 🎪🖤 I saw a post by Erin Morgenstern that mentioned today (Sep 13) was the anniversary of the release of The Night Circus so I couldn't let the day pass without a photo in tribute to one of my favourite books! Happy anniversary to all my fellow Rêveurs 🧣 📚💙

This is such great advice. It's so easy to get lost in social media and "keeping up". I remember when Instagram was just posting stupid daily photos for my friends & not trying to beat the algorithm so even a fraction of my followers still see my posts.

I'm excited to be organising a virtual book tour for Monica Saigal's upcoming short story collection - The Lotus Blooms Twice! If you have a bookstagram, booktube or other bookish platform (tiktok, blog, etc), & would be interested in an eARC, sign up here! 📚💙 forms.gle/A639PeoFskxq...

poster with book blurb for The Lotus Blooms Twice by Monica Saigal.

Text reads: 14 unforgettable stories + a bonus novella about ordinary people discovering that even after heartbreak, life can bloom with hope, connection, and unexpected joy.

From Delhi’s narrow lanes to quiet Virginia kitchens, Monica Saigal explores what happens when women in midlife confront betrayal, grief, longing, and second chances. A father questions the truth of his family. A widow at the Taj Mahal waits for memory to return. A wife in a comfortable marriage feels desire stir in unexpected ways. A woman must choose between survival and silence.

This multicultural literary fiction collection speaks directly to women in their 50s and beyond who are navigating complicated relationships, caregiving, reinvention, and rediscovered desire.

It goes without saying that as readers, we love words. So how about a mystery based on words? GUILTY BY DEFINITION by the amazing Susie Dent gives us an amateur sleuthing team whose lives revolve around lexicography (dictionaries), words, definitions, & language. Highly recommended! 📚💙

A black and gold hardback copy of the book Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent sits on top of a pile of vintage postcards, and a dictionary open to the page "Guilt". Two large pink blossoms sit in the top left-hand corner, slightly covering the book's corner

It’s no secret I’m a huge Rivers of London fan. And if I HAD to choose a favourite (other than the OG Rivers of London) it would be Foxglove Summer. There’s just something about this one - the change of scenery, the summer, the plants… it’s extra magical in a series focused on magic 🦄 What’s yours?
