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 26 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 : Boxing Day – feeling bloated, a palate cleanser:
You Are Here by David Nicholls is a lovely, satisfying, light hearted read. It feels outside of the genres that I normally read in but I’ve read and enjoyed books by this author before so wanted to read this and it really was like a refreshing breath of fresh air.

Tomorrow’s prompt: Christmas Crackers – Ended with a bang


Changing up your usual genre is such a great way to get out of a rut, and I remember how much you enjoyed this book.
I do like this author and this was so light and breezy and ultimately satisfying.

Your comment makes me curious.
Mine was a mind cleanser for sure: https://wordsandpeace.com/2024/12/26/countdown-to-2025-day-26-boxing-day/
It’s very outside of the books that I usually read these days but I like the author and so wanted to read it – and it was refreshingly different.

I never read anything by this author but this sounds interesting enough, even if not my usual pick! I’ll add it to my TBR!!
It’s a very light and airy romcom style read but I’ve read the author before and thought it would be a good change of pace.
