December Countdown: One prompt per day
29 November 2020 
For the month of December I’m scheduled a quick post, early each day, that simply highlights a book based on a prompt, a countdown, if you will to 2021. Below is a list of the prompts I will be using, one for each day. This is a fun way to highlight some books for the month of December and, given the time of year, some of the prompts are Christmas inspired. Feel free to join in. Note: I don’t want to over burden people and fill up readers I simply wanted to use the final month of the year to shine the spotlight on some books (all the books highlighted will be linked to Goodreads for information purposes).
Prompts:
- Snow – a book set in a cold or wintry climate
- Shopping – the last book added to your wishlist
- Wrapping paper – a lovely cover
- Presents – a book you enjoyed more than you expected to
- Chocolates – a book that was simply delicious
- Christmas stocking – stocking fillers – a novella or short story
- Christmas Tree – traditional style, winter read
- Baubles – these add some colour, a very colourful and striking cover
- Fairy Lights – a book of the fae
- Under the Tree – a book you forgot you owned
- Mistletoe – a little bit of romance
- Holly and Ivy – a book with great world building
- Feast – a book that was magnificent
- Christmas pudding – if you could squeeze in just one more book for 2020
- Mince pies – a little sweet something
- Turkey Dinner– a book that is almost too big to face
- Glitter – A book that you simply have to have
- Christmas Cards – a book with a hidden message
- Christmas Carols – a book with musicians, song or instruments
- Eggnog – a book that was out of your comfort zone
- Santa’s Snack – a book that was a ‘light read’ between heavier books
- Reindeers – a book with memorable critters
- Sleigh bells – a series that you want to ring out the praise for
- Christmas Eve – One of your most anticipated books for 2021
- Christmas Day – choose one from the wishlist
- Boxing Day – feeling bloated, a palate cleanser
- Christmas Crackers – Ended with a bang
- Candlelight – a book that kept you up into the early hours
- Christmas Cactus – A seasonal read
- Family and Friends – a book with great characters
- Bottle of Bubbly – Recap
Books and travelling with Lynn 
This is a great idea. And I love the holiday focus. Makes me want to find some books that match the prompts! 🙂
You should do it 😀
Gosh Lynn, you’ve done it again and come up with a great idea! This would also make a really good Instagram challenge😁
Yes it would. And nice quick and easy. I need to start using Instagram a bit more.
Such a great idea! I’ll be looking forward to reading your picks for all the prompts☺️
thanks – also, I’d love to visit your blog – could you send me a link so I can pay you a call?
Lynn 😀
Oh sure! My blog is http://www.starryeyedenigma.com
This is clever! I have a lot of catch up reviews to do though 😀
I have a lot of catch up books to read!! The problem is there’s always one element that suffer, if I do a lot of blogging I’m not doing much reading, if I do a lot of reading I’m getting behind with reviews and blogging – aaaaaahhhhhhhh.
Lynn 😀
Looks like it’s going to be a busy month on your blog 🙂 Am looking forward to seeing what you’ve chosen for each of these prompts.
I wanted to do a countdown – not sure if that’ because I have quite literally had enough of 2020 or not!
Lynn 😀
Oh this is a really fun idea, Lynn! Maybe I can figure out how to do this on instagram… 🙂
Yay 😀
Oh this is magnificent – well played! I will give it a go (now to decide if it’s a blog post or an instagram pic!)
I think Instagram would work really well for this – I simply have to get better about using it.
