Countdown to 2024 Day 26: Feeling bloated, a palate cleanser

IMG_9662-1

Today is day 26 of my countdown to 2024.  Using a series of prompts each day I will post a book title that I believe fits the prompt.  The aim is to highlight as many books as possible that I read from 2023 and shine the spotlight on them once again (although for some prompts I will be looking at future reads).  A list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2024.

Today’s prompt: Feeling bloated, a palate cleanser

For today’s prompt I’ve chosen a book that was a great deal of fun with a fantastic cast of characters, sea monsters and adventures on the open sea.  What’s not to love.  The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty.

For today’s prompt I’ve chosen a book that was very popular with my fellow bloggers who’s taste in books I trust without doubt.  I need to give this one a priority very soon.  The September House by Carissa Orlando.  This was the last book I purchased using gift tokens.

Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

Sunday Post

I’m trying to get back into the habit of doing a round-up of the week just completed and also take a look at my plans for the forthcoming week.  I rather got out of the habit of doing so but I would like to reinstate this type of post as I feel it keeps me on track.  So, I’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s  Caffeinated Reviewer.  Without further ado:

Books read this week:

What a crazy and hectic week this has been.  There’s been lots going on and on top of that in the last few days we’ve all fallen prey to the dreaded lurgy.  I think the Grinch has stolen Christmas for us – but, it matters not, we’ll just put a slight delay on things.  Hope everyone else is keeping well?  My listening to Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (about 7 hours left) has not progressed this week – mainly because I’ve been ill.  I did manage to complete my first SPFBO finalist and I’ve made a great start on Voyage of the Damned by Frances White – what a fantastic story this is so far, I’m absolutely loving it and can’t wait to pick it back up – 30% in so far.  Seriously, loving it.
