The People's Friend book of the month is The Forest Hideaway by Sharon Gosling.

Packed with deep feeling and emotion, realistic people and simmering attraction, this is the most gorgeously uplifting read for autumn. It illustrated that there is always hope and the chance to fulfil our dreams.

There was something so inviting about the setting of this story, and there was a real relatability to the characters. We were left with a strong feeling of hope by the end of this read.

Talking point! 💬

We've been thinking about decorating. In particular, we've been thinking about the tradition of redecorating our homes for holidays outside of Christmas. Although it's intended to be a bit of harmless fun, all forms of seasonal decorating can easily slip into overconsumption

Do you decorate your home for Halloween or autumn? What are your thoughts on this?

Have you been watching 'Bookish'? The popular new cosy crime drama with a classic whodunnit style.

Set in 1946 London, Gabriel Book is an antiquarian bookseller who uses his encyclopaedic knowledge to help police unravel a series of complex murders.

The series blends post‑war social tensions with sharp detective puzzles, plus a charming ensemble cast including Mark Gatiss, Polly Walker, Connor Finch, Elliot Levey, Daniel Mays, Joely Richardson, and Paul McGann.

Mark Gatiss was the co-creator of the hit television series Sherlock, and has previously worked on several screen adaptations of works by Agatha Christie.

'Bookish' is very much an ode to classic murder mystery stories.
