Come join my new bookclub - ScentSational Books

Friends and colleagues will testify to my love of books and my extensive collection (no, it is not called hoarding, tsk!). Although a professional hazard (or benefit!) I have a vast perfume sample and essential oil collection together with a generous range of smell-related books. In addition to non-fiction titles, I have always loved reading fiction that weaves rich olfactory language through the story or uses scent and our sense of smell as a hook.

I have long wanted to combine these two passions and offer a bookclub, Covid kind of threw me a curveball and my plans were derailed, but no longer, nooooooo.

So, without further ado, please welcome an immersive, sensory inspired reading experience, my book club is here - trumpets please :
