Once again I am counting down to the New Year, as with the previous two years I shall be highlighting at least one book per day to fit the prompt on that given day. The main aim for this countdown is to highlight some of my reads during the past year and to shine the spotlight on them once again (although some of the prompts relate to forthcoming reads). Today is day 18 of the countdown to 2025 and a list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2025 and casting a spotlight on some of your favourite books (if you join in please leave me a link so I can check out your book choices).
Today’s Prompt : Christmas Cards – a book with a message
13 Days Remaining
Tracy Chevalier is one of my go to authors, she’s such a lovely writer. The Glassmaker is an intriguing historical story of family and the way their lives adapt throughout the centuries.
Tomorrow’s prompt: Christmas Carols – a book with musicians, song or instruments –


Thanks, I had forgotten about this one.

You’re welcome – this is an author that I always enjoy.

I love Tracy Chevalier, but I haven’t read this one yet.
TBH I think I’ve missed a couple of her more recent books and while I’d love to go back I realise at this stage I probably won’t. Not enough hours.

I remember this catching my eye although I haven’t read anything by the author before. It sounds interesting and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I think Girl With a Pearl Earring is probably her most famous book and was adapted into a movie. Before that I also really enjoyed Falling Angels.

I’ve heard of it but never seen it watched it 🙈 I’ll have to look the other up though as I haven’t heard of it. I’m glad you enjoyed it though
This is on my maybe I will get to this one day list!
