Happy June book lovers! As the weather gets colder we are looking for more excuses to stay curled up under the covers.

Watching
The Bold Type
The Bold Type is BACK for it’s final season! Here at Romance.com.au we love this show all about female friendship, fashion, fun and the millennial experience and will be devastated when it ends in a few weeks. The show follows a trio of twenty-something friends as they navigate live, and love, whilst living in New York and working for pre-eminent fashion magazine Scarlet. The show explores themes of sexuality, social media, journalism, women’s health, activism and more! It’s fun, light and fresh, and utterly bingeable.
Watch it on: Stan
Friends
Speaking of sitcoms we have to discuss FRIENDS. Yes, Friends originally aired waaaay back in the early 90s, however with the reunion special airing just last week it seems that the only thing the world can talk about is Friends, again. Whilst not a show without an unproblematic legacy, Friends remains iconic, funny, and full of heart. The perfect comfort re-watch for a chilly June weekend.
Watch it on: Netflix or Binge
Cruella
Now for something new! Cruella is the brand-new film starring Emma Stone, available to watch at the cinema or streaming on Disney +. Cruella tells the story of Cruella de Ville, the villain from 101 Dalmatians. Yes, an odd choice for a film, however the trailer promises a film full of camp, fashion and drop-dead gorgeous moments.
