Once again I am counting down to the New Year, as with the previous 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 5 of the countdown to 2026 and a list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2026 and casting a spotlight on some of your favourite books.
Today’s Prompt : Chocolates – a book that was simply delicious:
Vianne by Joanne Harris:
I don’t think I’ll ever have a more fitting book for this particular prompt. This book is absolutely delicious. It will make you long for cake and chocolates, not to mention all manner of other goodies. It’s a lovely story, beautifully written and I highly recommend it.

Tomorrow’s prompt: Christmas stocking – stocking fillers – a novella or short story


She really knows how to write about chocolate for sure! I haven’t read this but Chocolat was so good.
I loved this – it was so magical and beautifully written – it did make me very hungry though!
Lynn 😀
I have just watched the Chocolat movie, delicious for sure.
Lots of great food in mine as well: https://wordsandpeace.com/2025/12/05/countdown-to-2026-day-5-chocolates/
