This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, we’ve somehow ended up discussing two wildly different books in one cosy little episode.

First up: Knifed — featuring a super soldier and a premise that made us pause, blink, and say, “Right. Go on then.” It’s weird, it’s bold, and it sent us down a very specific rabbit hole.

Then we swing hard into Broken Princess, a dark mafia romance that delivers exactly what it promises: power, control, danger, and characters making choices that would absolutely ruin your life in reality.

We’re joined by author Laura Bennett to talk all things Broken Princess — from dark romance territory to writing morally questionable men and heroines who’ve been through it.

Expect cosy drinks, chaotic reactions, and that familiar Cosy Cup whiplash of going from “what did I just read?” to “I fear I enjoyed it.”

Pop the kettle on — it’s a mixed bag, and we loved it. ☕📚

This week, we’re chatting about Scrapbook of an Unfound Songstress by Vicky Nolan — a book that feels like flicking through a scrapbook of half-remembered songs, lost voices, and the stories we build around them. We talk creativity, memory, identity, and the quiet ache of things that almost were.

Somewhere along the way, the conversation takes a turn into an apocalypse hypothetical — specifically, who we’d want to spend the end of the world with (emotionally, not strategically). It’s reflective, a bit unhinged in places, and exactly the sort of tangent you’d expect from us.

This week’s episode is exactly as unhinged as the title suggests ☕🦆

We’re joined by the wonderful Emily Catlow for a cosy (and slightly chaotic) chat about The Secret We Keep – a book packed with tension, secrets, and the kind of emotional moments that make you stare into your mug and reassess your life choices.

Expect honest conversations about complicated relationships, quiet heartbreaks, and the very real art of pretending you’re fine when you absolutely are not.

Rosie's bit on the side is totally normal; about dating rubber ducks.

It’s warm, funny, a little bit emotional, and very Cosy Cup-coded. Pop the kettle on, get comfy, and join us for a chat that feels like sitting at the table after everyone else has gone home.
