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 16 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: Turkey Dinner– eye’s too big for your belly? A chunkster
King Sorrow by Joe Hill is definitely a fitting book for today’s prompt weighing in at a massive 896 pages – but don’t let that deter you from picking this up because it’s really, really good. Highly recommend.
15 Days Remaining
Tomorrow’s prompt: Glitter – A book that you simply have to have

I didn’t realize it was that long, lol. But I still want to read it😁
Oh yes, at first I was put off by the length but my goodness, this is such a good book. I mean it doesn’t feel long when you’re reading it.
Lynn 😀
wow! Mine at 576 pages seems like a short-story compared to it, lol”

Haha, yes, this was one huge book but brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Oh your link to your review doesn’t work
Thanks for letting me know – I’ve fixed it. Don’t know what I did there!
Lynn 😀
Haha, I’m listening to this now and the charactes are so annoying! But the story just blew up with the summoning and now I’m hooked 😀
It’s a strange, compelling, unusual story that goes exactly where you don’t expect.
