I’m reading The Dad Trap by @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social which, despite not being out for a couple of weeks, I found nestled in the shelves in Waterstones on my Boxing Day bookshop visit. Thoroughly enjoying it so far.

If you're looking for Christmas presents for someone aged about 9 to about 14, my book is set in winter. It's snowing! Inside Stitchwort house we have log fires, cosy blankets, tea and hot buttered toast. There's also a mystery curse, a ghost or two, and a whole family with magical abilities 🕷️❄️🕸️❄️🕷️

Really looking forward to this one from @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social.

Hurrah! We have it on pre-order from our lovely local book shop.
