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 the final day 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: Bottle of Bubbly – your first read in the New Year:
For today’s prompt I’ve chosen A Box Full of Darkness by Simone St James. It’s one of the first books on my shelves in the new year, I really like this author and I’m very much looking forward to this.

See you all in the new year
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I’ve read it and it was amazing. I need to go back and read The Sun Down Motel now, since it’s set in the same town.
Ahh, okay, maybe I should try reading that first then.
