January kicks off the second cycle for our traveling book club 🔁

Last summer, I signed up to Em’s TBC community (which you can find on her TikTok at shehasstartedanewchapter) and was assigned to cycle 12. We each picked a fantasy/romantasy book, we read it, annotated it and then sent it onto the next girl, and so on. January is the end of our first cycle sad we decided to take an extra month due to so many things happening in our lives, but we are also kicking off the second cycle and this time, we are playing around with genres, sparkling some contemporary romance into the mix ❤️

Book review: Risky Business by @annabelleslator
(Early copy via @NetGalley) ✨📖

What do you get when a brilliant woman, a “broken” startup and tech-bro sexism collide? Apparently: chaos, fake identities, a hot assistant and a tour through central Europe.

Risky Business follows Jess Cole, the founder of a FemTech startup who is smart, driven and extremely tired of not being taken seriously. When she accidentally applies to a prestigious startup competition as “Mr. Cole” and gets accepted (shocking, I know 🙃), she does what any reasonable person would do: ropes in her twin brother to pretend to be the CEO while she hides in plain sight as his assistant.

The book is funny, yet painfully accurate in how it portrays the nonsense women deal with in male-dominated industries. Jess is constantly overlooked, talked over and underestimated, unless, of course, people think she’s a man. Annabelle handles these moments with humor, but the commentary still hits hard.

And yes, there is romance because Annabelle wouldn’t let us down. Enter Oliver, a charming assistant who is observant, kind and somehow manages to see Jess for who she actually is, even when she’s pretending to be someone else. Their chemistry is flirty, awkward and adorable, with plenty of tension thanks to Jess’s rapidly spiraling web of lies.

Fake identity + workplace proximity + mutual attraction = chef’s kiss.

What really makes Risky Business shine is its balance. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, but it also has heart. Jess isn’t just trying to win a competition, she’s trying to prove (to investors, to the industry, and to herself) that she belongs in the room. Bonus points for a supportive sibling dynamic and a cast of side characters who add to the fun rather than dragging things down.

If you like:

smart rom-coms
fake identities
women winning despite the system being stacked against them
and stories that feel like *She’s the Man* grew up and joined a startup

…this one is for you.

Final verdict: clever, charming, and rage-inducing in the best way. Read it for the romance, stay for the feminist mic drops. 💼💘📈

A lil recap of what I read last week ✨ I’m in no way a fast reader, my brain likes to take its sweet time with every book 📕🧠 but I still finished two books I had started the previous week (Holly by @authoradalyngrace and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by @tjenkinsreid ), started and finished Heir of Storms by @laurynhamiltonmurray , which is my first five star ⭐ book of the month!

Some numbers:
3 books finished
809 pages read in total
107 books read so far this year
6666 tissues used because I caught a cold and spent most of Sunday sneezing away 🤧

First week of the month means it’s time a wrap-up post with all the books I read and listened to over the month that has just finished.

November was a pretty successful month with 11 books and two of my top 2025 reads (Alchemised and Hekate).

I also hit my Goodreads goal of 100 books! Now to see if I can beat the amount of books I read last year, 118.

We are keeping it real here… most of the “a day in the life” posts always shop people doing all sorts of fun things and here I am, doing this on a random day of the week where I barely got anything done, read maybe 20 pages of Quicksilver and had a social anxiety fuelled meltdown at the gym. Whats more realistic than that 😂😅🫠🥹

Some days reading is not the answer to all problems… sadly 😢 but cake and some quiet time can sure help make one feel remotely better.

It’s also completely normal to not read hundreds and hundreds of pages every single day. Remember to read at your own pace and live at your own pace too!

It’s a wrap on @yalc_uk and here’s what I did throughout the weekend as a member of the crew:

📚 stared at pretty books all day until I was given ten minutes of free reign across the halls and then caused chaos

🛍️ managed to somehow buy (only) 7 books

🥤 drank far too much Diet Coke

✨chatted to so many lovely people

🔖 collected so many bookmarks

🫠 briefly chatted to a lovely lady about Star Trek… turns out she was one of the authors on my TBR @annalieseavery

📸 too busy to take photos/videos so this selfie is pretty much all the content you’re gonna get from me

The journey back to Cornwall was a looooong one and I’m currently on my way to work, so wish me luck because I’m a very eepy sleepy tired girl

Balancing my two current obsessions: the @AbbottLyon pieces sitting at the top of my wishlist and my latest read, Thorn Season by Keira Azar.

If I’m not bookmarking chapters, I’m bookmarking jewellery, and both are equally dangerous in the best possible way.

Going to @yalc_uk ? Congrats, you’re about to enter a magical world where your TBR list grows by 67 books in under 10 minutes and your feet forget what comfort is. ✨📚

Here’s your survival kit:
 🔋 A power bank, because your phone battery will drain faster than your bank account at the merch stalls
 🌬️ A handheld fan… it can get… swampy
 💧 Reusable water bottle, because dehydration is NOT the aesthetic unless you are instant ramen
 💸 CASH. Yes, real life, paper money. Some vendors prefer cash
 🖊️ A spare pen + Sharpie, because someone will always “borrow” yours and then disappear into the crowd like a love interest with a tragic backstory.
 💗 Post-its with your name so authors don’t accidentally sign your book to “Jessica” when your name is literally Emma.
 💊 Paracetamol , because we don’t know when, we don’t know why, but at some point your head will hurt.

And most importantly… mentally prepare to black out the second you meet your favourite author and forget every coherent sentence you’ve ever known.

Girl Dinner by @olivieblake is sharp, indulgent and deliciously unhinged, so the jewellery had to serve the same energy.
⠀
I picked bold, statement pieces that feel a little chaotic, a little glamorous and entirely too much in the best possible way.
