Today is day 10 of my countdown to 2024. Using a series of prompts each day I will post a book title that I believe fits the prompt. The aim is to highlight as many books as possible that I read from 2023 and shine the spotlight on them once again (although for some prompts I will be looking at future reads). A list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2024.
Today’s prompt: Under the Tree – a book you forgot you owned
The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine. I bought this ages ago, I’m an absolute sucker for fairytale retellings and this is a reimagining of the twelve dancing princesses but set in Manhattan during the 1920s. I love the sound of it and really must make time to squeeze it in.

I think I bought a special edition copy of this, but I haven’t read it either. But it’s Valente so I really should😁
Yep, I was so eager to have this one and now it just sits on the shelf, looking at me with that ‘tone’.

This may have been on my wishlist at one point because it absolutely sounds like something I would read. Don’t think I ever bought a copy though…
I could understand the confusion, I’ve sometimes wanted a book so badly but not got round to purchasing it and then on other occasions loved the description that I’ve bought the same book at least twice.

Nice! I love fairytale retellings as well.
Here is mine, nonfiction:
Fairytale retellings are a firm favourite for me so I really should just pick this one up.

Haha, every time I try to clean out/cull my shelves I discover a book like that 😀
I know – and I can’t seem to let them go.
