Today is day 31 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: Bottle of Bubbly – your first read for 2024
For today’s prompt I’ve chosen a book that I can’t wait to read. This series is amazing and although, strictly speaking this isn’t my first review book in times of date I think I will be hard pressed not to dive into this one first.

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 a strange choice for me – You Like it Darker by Stephen King – an unusual choice in that this is a collection of short stories which I don’t as a rule lean towards, but this does appeal to me. Here are the covers:
My favourite:
Which is your favourite?
Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.
