Here is the beautiful wreath on my mum and dad’s door. We are coming back down here for Christmas but are here this weekend too for my Dad’s carol concert. * We don’t have a wreath at home, but mum and dad’s door is one of those big wooden ones with decorated glass panels, so the whole effect is somehow very old-fashioned and extra Christmassy. 🎄 * I never used to be bothered about wreaths but my P’s get a similar one to this every year, and I love it. What do you think about Christmas wreaths? * * * * * #christmas #christmaswreath #christmaswreaths #orange #cinnamon #driedfruit #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmasdecs #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #authorgram #authorlife #authormoments #authoring #christmastime #christmasishere #doordecorations #frontdoor #frontdoordecor #athome #londonhome #londonchristmas #discoverunder1k #discoverunder5k #frontdoorview #loveinstagram #inspiremyinsta #instagood #inspiremyinstagram #instachristmas

‪#TheFlatshare is astoundingly good. A beautiful, hope-filled, joyful triumph of a book. I was barely able to put it down yesterday and finished late last night. What a breath of fresh air! Everyone needs to share Tiffy and Leon’s bed next year. 💕‬ * * * * * * #betholeary #latestread #bookreview #bookreviews #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #bookstagramming #uplit #newfiction #brilliantbooks #authorlife #authormoments #fortheloveofbooks #fortheloveofreading #instabook #instabooks #instaauthor #bookchoice #instafiction #readthisbook #beautifulbooks #bookphotography #creativebookphotography #lovethisbook #lovestory #booksandflowers #bookworming #writerswhoread #authoring

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! The winner is @pottingshed4 - please DM me your address and I’ll pop your prize in the post. Thank you so much everyone for taking part. 🎉 Hello lovely #bookstagram people, I thought I would do a bookish giveaway just in time for Christmas! * My latest book, The House of Birds and Butterflies, has got a summerish, sunny vibe, but it does have Christmas in it (including some very cute birdie decorations 🎄) and you might want something a bit sunnier while it’s so cold 🥶 outside. * I am giving away one copy of The House of Birds and Butterflies, signed and dedicated to anyone you’d like, plus this box of Freddo Faces. I don’t know why Freddo faces are particularly Christmassy either, so let’s call this the non-Christmassy, Christmas giveaway! * To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is follow me, like this post and then comment below, telling me who your favourite fictional hero is. It seems like a great subject for a bookish giveaway, I am very nosy, and I am always on the lookout for new bookish heroes to fall for. 😍 * I’ll pick a winner on Monday the 17th December, and then post the prize out in the hope of getting it to you in time for Christmas. With that in mind, this particular giveaway is UK ONLY. * Get liking and commenting! 🤗 * * * * * #giveaway #bookishgiveaway #bookgiveaway #bookgiveaways #bookstagramgiveaway #bookstagrammer #bookstagramming #paperback #paperbackgiveaway #cressidamclaughlin #thehouseofbirdsandbutterflies #amwritingromance #romancewriters #chicklitreads #authorlife #authormoments #authorgiveaway #christmasgiveaway #christmasgiveaways #booksandchocolate #romanticreads #romanticbooks #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #authorsofig #writersofig #bookworming #giveawaytime #giveawayuk

Make it funny and romantic. 😂🥰 * This was the very insightful motivational picture I put on my noticeboard before I started my latest book. Yesterday, I sent my first draft off to my editor. Phew and 🎉🎉. * I always try and make my books funny, and I don’t think I ever lose sight of the romance, and this does seem a bit obvious when my job is writing romcoms, but it’s never a bad thing to remind yourself what it is you’re trying to achieve. * I am pretty happy with New Book (and should be able to reveal the details VERY SOON) and feel like I have achieved both funny AND romantic. Though I guess I will know for sure when it gets into readers’ hands... 😶 * Cool image that I printed out was made using the ever-brilliant @wordswag. * * * * * #authorlife #authormoments #funnyandromantic #chicklit #chicklitreads #romcom #romcoms #amwriting #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #authorsofig #writersofig #igauthor #igwriter #amwriting #amwritingromance #writerswisdom #wednesdaywisdom #shelfie #cressidamclaughlin #thehouseofbirdsandbutterflies #theonceinabluemoonguesthouse #myshelfie #bookishfeatures #lovewriting #romancewriter #romancewriters #romancewritersofinstagram #writingtip #writingtips

SAY YES TO THE MARQUESS - TESSA DARE - 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (and a half). * Yes, the Regency Romance odyssey continues, and I loved this one a lot. The castle is in Kent, my old stomping ground, and I could easily picture the beautiful countryside. * The heroine, Clio, is determined, but she also has a lot of insecurities and is held back by some of her family, and Rafe Brandon (Rafe - what a name 😍) has shunned polite society to become a prizefighter. A prizefighter who now has to convince Clio that she wants the biggest, floofiest wedding imaginable, with lace and flowers and cake and dresses. This is already a hard task for poor old Rafe, but it’s made harder by the fact that the wedding is not going to be to him... * In it you will find: * 🏰 A castle 🐕 A cute dog 🧁 Lots of cake 💐 Lots of flowers 💍 A ring 📜 Papers that MUST be signed 👰🏼 A wedding dress that cannot be unzipped by the bride alone... 🤔 (Very Poldark) 🏰 A deserted tower * This has all the classic hilarity, hotness and romance of a Tessa Dare book. I loved every page press. 💕 * * * * * * #tessadare #sayyestothemarquess #regencyromance #kentcastle #amreading #latestread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramming #bookworm #authorlife #authormoments #bookaddict #bookaddiction #bookish #bookishlife #bookrecommendation #bookreview #emojibookreview #bookaholic #amreadingromance #amreadingnow #ilovebooks #lovebooks #kindlebooks #kindlereads #booklove #igreads #readersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram
