Countdown to 2024 Day 17: Glitter – A book that you simply have to have

IMG_9662-1

Today is day 17 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: Glitter – A book that you simply have to have:

WarmHands1

I’ve been waiting anxiously to see what Katherine Arden would come up with next, I absolutely adored her Winternight Trilogy and so I’m really excited to read The Warm Hands of Ghosts.  The description sounds amazing.

TheReform

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due weighs in at just shy of 600 pages – but it certainly doesn’t feel like a big book when you’re reading it because the pages seem to fly by.  Dark, horrific and difficult but an absolute must read.

Friday Face Off : The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse

FFO

Today I’m returning to the  Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy).  I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner.  This is an opportunity to look at a book of your choice and shine the spotlight on the covers.  Of course this only works for those books that have alternative covers (although sometimes I use this to look at a series of books to choose a favourite). . So, if you have a book that has alternative covers, highlight them and choose your favourite.  If you’re taking part it would be great if you leave a link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.

This week my book is The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse.  Here are the covers:

My favourite:

GS2

Which is your favourite?

Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.

The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater is the first in the Victorian Faerie Tales series.  It was an absolute delight filled with gothic darkness, ghosts and sneaky fae.
