First Dates at the Cat Café by @racheljrowlands is out today with @hodderbooks @hodderfiction 🐱💜✨!!
Meet cat café barista Grace and brooding musician Nathan in this perfect summertime romcom ♥️☀️
—
Love is in the air at the cat café... Will everyone find their purr-fect match?
Grace adores her job as a barista at the café, but dreams of one day setting up her own matchmaking agency to help pet lovers find true love.
When Catpurrcino partners with a dating festival for the whole of August it seems like it is meant to be.
The last thing on Grace’s mind is her own love life.
Until she is matched with musician Nathan, who is only at the festival so he can perform.
Grace knows from the very first moment that Nathan is not the man of her dreams.
But no one is going to take romantic advice from someone who can’t even get through one successful date. So Grace and Nathan make a pact: they will pretend to be smitten with each other until the end of festival.
The more time Grace and Nathan spend playing the perfect couple, the more Grace wonders if her fake feelings are becoming real... Could Nathan ever feel the same?
Get ready for a summer of first dates, fake dates and stolen kisses under a blanket of stars - with your favourite feline friend on hand for emotional support at all times! This romantic read is perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Lucy Jane Wood and Sarah Morgan.

Tom Service’s brilliant new book, A History of the World in 50 Pieces, published today with @eburybooks @penguinukbooks @bbcradio3 🎵🎼🎶
Huge congratulations 🎉 @t.o.m.s.e.r.v.i.c.e
Music transports us and defines us.
As a form of expression, it has been passed down through oral tradition, musical notation and recordings in a chain of connection that spans the globe, across the millennia. A History of the World in 50 Pieces follows that chain, collating 50 pieces of classical music that reflect our changing politics, social structures and technological development, and how composers, musicians and listeners have shaped those currents of history.
From Bach to Beethoven, Songlines to Saariaho, Hildegard of Bingen to the Happy Birthday song, Tom Service offers a fresh take on pieces that many of us think we know, and many more we might not. With each short, sharp analysis, he expands the typical canon and tests the boundaries of what we understand to be ‘classical music’ – or even music at all, such as the sounds of the earth’s rotation, and the songs of humpback whales.
An official BBC Radio 3 publication, A History of the World in 50 Pieces is a book for anyone curious about the power of music and how it shapes us and connects us.
