Be the first to hear our bookish news!

Christmas is on the way, so get ready to wrap up warm and indulge in what makes this the most festive time of the year (in our opinion) books!

At Tea Leaves & Reads we’re all about the giving of books on Christmas Eve to celebrate what is affectionately known in Iceland as Jólabókaflóðið (Jolabokaflod – Christmas Book Flood).

This box will be dispatched from the 2nd December 2024.

Treat yourself to a winter’s night out with bestselling authors, Cathy Bramley and Cressida McLaughlin.

Come and celebrate the publication of A Merry Little Christmas and The Secret Christmas Bookshop.

A hot drink and a winter’s treat awaits you, with bookish chatter, book signings and an opportunity to ask your own questions.

Hosted by the Tea Leaves & Reads Bookshop. Join us at 7pm on Friday 29th November 2024.

This chilling, haunting and twisty thriller about how far we go to protect our darkest secrets.

When young Kimberley Painter vanishes without a trace, her disappearance shakes the local community to the core.

Almost two decades later, when Kimberley’s body is found in woodlands next to a manor house, police officer Alessandra Cano must investigate what happened.

However, as Alessa immerses herself in the historic case, she’s besieged by eerie signs and messages, becoming convinced that Kimberley’s restless spirit is reaching out from beyond the grave.

Our Blog

We have read books for over thirty years (or over sixty years if you combine our ages!). We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be putting in our boxes.

This book is suggested for fans of Practical Magic and/or The Gilmore Girls and whilst I don’t disagree, it has something else that makes it wholly its own. A blend across brilliant genres, it’s a gentle mix of magical realism, folklore, romance and destination. Comparisons to […]
I’m a fan of retellings and this is the most disturbing and darkest one that I’ve read to date. A good retelling retains elements of original characters that we know and are familiar with but puts this in an alternate scenario. There was enough familiarity to […]
Orbital defies all the boundaries of specific genres and spans a varied and beautiful mix, incorporating science fiction, literary fiction and philosophy. One day, it will probably fall into the ‘Classic’ category too! It’s a short novel which opens up many more possibilities for those who […]
