This week things get a little unconventional — Rebecca Black (no, not that one) couldn’t join us in person, so Katy asked the questions and Rosie channelled her inner author to read out Rebecca’s written answers. Was it journalism? Was it theatre? Everything is hearsay, really.
We do a shallow dive into Rebecca’s debut Everything is Hearsay — a rockstar romance following a Bristolian single mum B&B owner whose life gets a lot more complicated when a certain someone checks in. Cosy setting, chaotic energy, and we absolutely had opinions.
Plus Rosie’s Bit on the Side this week features a sentient spatula and we are not taking questions about it. Katy’s reaction alone is worth the listen.
Grab your cuppa and settle in. ☕

The Cosy Cup Bookclub | The Deal by Elle Kennedy

This week Katy and Rosie are diving into a certified BookTok classic — The Deal by Elle Kennedy, book one of the Off-Campus series. We’re talking fake dating, slow burn, hockey boys with suspiciously good banter, and one very inconvenient deal that was never going to end well for anyone’s heart. Hannah and Garrett, we see you.

We break down all the best bits, get into our feelings about it (Rosie had feelings, Katy had opinions), and tackle this week’s big question: if you could make one book character real and keep them in your life forever, who would it be? The answers were chaotic, debatable, and slightly concerning. Tune in to find out who made the cut.

Grab your cuppa, get cosy, and come argue with us about whether Garrett Graham deserves the hype. (He does. Probably.)

This week, we’re sipping something questionable and diving into In Plain Sight with the brilliant Esme Taylor—chatting twists, tension, and the kind of moments that make you immediately distrust everyone, including yourself.

Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a turn into Vined and Dined… which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds. Expect strong opinions, questionable connections, and at least one point where we completely lose the plot (in a fun way, obviously).

It’s mystery, misdirection, and mildly unhinged side chat—served with a cosy drink and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

This week, we’re diving into Two Truths and a Lie by Annie Abel — a book that had us questioning everything… including our own emotional stability.

We’re talking:

• enemies-to-lovers tension that feels personally targeted
• chaotic men with suspiciously soft centres
• and the very real question… who exactly would drag us into a life of chaos, and why are we saying yes so quickly?

Expect strong opinions, questionable life choices, and at least one moment where we fully reconsider our standards.

Grab your cosiest drink, settle in, and come spiral with us — because honestly, if chaos looks like that, we might be in trouble.

This week we’re joined by author Billie Jade Kermack, chatting about her book Veiled Obsessions, the inspiration behind it, and what it’s really like writing stories that live rent-free in readers’ heads.

Along the way we get into the usual cosy chaos, including writing chat, bookish confessions, and the kind of tangents that make perfect sense at the time but sound completely unhinged afterwards.

Meanwhile, Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a particularly surreal turn this week with a story about a bag of groceries that… becomes a man. As one does.

Pop the kettle on and settle in for an episode full of books, laughter, mild confusion, and a perfectly reasonable amount of questioning how we ended up discussing humanoid groceries in the first place.

Join us for Episode Twelve of The Cosy Cup Book Club.

This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, Katy and Rosie dive into Lights Out by Navessa Allen, a dark romance that proves the line between terrifying and tantalising is apparently very thin. Expect chaotic opinions, questionable life advice inspired by fictional men, and the usual honest reactions when a book decides to absolutely unhinge itself halfway through.

We attempt to answer the very important question: should anyone actually take life advice from romance novels… or would that lead to immediate disaster?

Grab a cosy drink and join us for an episode full of dark romance discussion, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of fictional wisdom that probably shouldn’t be applied in real life. 📚☕

This week we are joined by author Jadella Gold to chat about her book Cute Little Hand Grenade, a story that packs far more punch than its title politely suggests. We talk about the inspiration behind the book, the characters that refuse to behave themselves, and the kind of plot twists that leave you staring at the page thinking, “well… that escalated quickly.”

As always, things take a slight detour when Rosie brings Rosie’s Bit on the Side, this time discussing Cold Sweat and an unexpectedly memorable jug-related moment that absolutely demanded further investigation.

Expect books, chaos, questionable observations, and the usual Cosy Cup energy. Pop the kettle on. ☕📚

We’re doing a full deep-dive into Deep End by Ali Hazelwood — the tension, the tropes, the chemistry that could power the National Grid, and the moments that had us pausing to stare dramatically into the middle distance. Is it peak Hazelwood? Is it feral? Is it soft? Is it both? We discuss.

There is, of course, chaos.

And because we can never stay on topic for long, we also answer the extremely important, civilisation-defining question:

Which fictional character would you trust to plan your wedding?

Would you go full spreadsheet control freak? Soft-hearted romantic? Unhinged wildcard? Someone who’d elope you to Vegas by accident? We debate, we disagree, we absolutely judge each other’s choices.

Expect:
• Bookish analysis with just enough depth to justify the title
• Mild chaos
• Strong opinions
• Possibly questionable wedding planning decisions

Pop the kettle on and join us.
