November 2025 Book Releases

November is knocking at our doors, and so is an army of new releases that all sound positively delectable. So get yourself a cup of tea and get ready to build up a fantasy shopping cart (or go wild, and actually check out once you have all the books you want, I dare you). Here are some of the awesome books on my radar for November!

The Trauma Cleaner by Sarah Krasnostein | DNF review

The Trauma Cleaner by Sarah Krasnostein DNF book review

The long short of it, is that this was not what I expected it to be. I had my eye on this book for a while, expecting a thrilling account of what a trauma cleaner is and how the business works. It's something that I think many of us were curious about, in an almost grotesque way.

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman | book review

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman book review

A fabulous follow up to The Thursday Murder Club! I once again listened to the audio version narrated by Lesley Manville, and I can't recommend it enough. The narration is fantastic and the plot is just as good as the first time around.

The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco | DNF book review

The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco DNF review

I tried so hard to fall in love with this, but after a long battle to get to (nearly) halfway, I had to just admit to myself that it wasn't doing it for me. Which made me sad, because I've really loved some of Chupeco's other books.

Bookstores to Visit in Edinburgh

I recently travelled to the wonderful Edinburgh city, and you bet that one of my priorities was to do a bookshop crawl. So that is exactly what I did, and what I'd love to share with you today!

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman | book review

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, 5-star book review

So the hype was 100% true and this is probably the best thing you're going to read for a long, long time. To say I'm obsessed would definitely be an understatement.

A Storm of Swords: Snow and Steel by George R.R. Martin | book review

A Storm of Swords part one by George R.R. Martin

A Storm of Swords is such a step-up in wow-factor from book two. And this is only part one - I can't wait to read part two.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna | book review

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna book review

This surely is peak cosy read. I devoured this within a few reading sessions and loved every minute of it. Completely innocent (well, almost) and definitely funny, this is a fun witchy read to add to your TBR.

Boudicca’s Daughter by Elodie Harper | book review

Boudicca's Daughter by Elodie Harper book review

This was every bit as phenomenal as I had anticipated. Since reading Harper's Wolf Den trilogy, I've been so excited for what she would write next – and this certainly didn't disappoint. This is a beautifully woven reimagining of the Boudicca story/history, but told from one of her daughter's perspectives: Solina.

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin | book review

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin book review

I'm in two minds on how I feel about the audiobooks for this series – having read book one and then listened to book two, I think I might revert to reading when it comes to book three, but we shall see. The narration slowly grew on me, but even when I was unsure, the epic scale of the plot still wowed me.
