About Books and Things

Right so hello. I’m Katie Lumsden and I like books and things. (Things including: history, theatre, the Victorian period, bookshops and writing.) I've been watching Booktube videos for years and in June 2015 decided to start making my own.

A typical video will include me drinking tea while overusing the words 'like', 'really' and 'brilliant' to declare my undying love for Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. Feel free to subscribe if that sounds like your kind of thing.

I am also an author, and my debut novel, The Secrets of Hartwood Hall, came out in spring 2023. My second novel, The Trouble with Mrs Montgomery Hurst, is coming out summer 2024.

Review policy: I'm happy to receive review copies from publishers, especially of historical fiction. In general, I don't review self-published books. Please contact me at my email below.

All opinions are my own.
