Today is day 4 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: Gifts – a book you enjoyed more than you expected to
The Only One Left by Riley Sager. I have read only two books by this author and while the first one didn’t quite wow me – this one certainly did. I loved it and couldn’t read the pages fast enough. Highly entertaining and so much gothic. No hesitation in recommending.

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:
I’ve managed to complete all my November reads and catch up with some October carryovers. This week I completed What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez. I made progress with Empire Vampire and I’ve almost finished The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas.
Complete Empire Vampire by Jay Kristoff and The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas.

Today’s prompt: Shopping – the last book added to your wishlist:
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros – I have been told that this is a ‘must read’ and it seems to have taken the reading community by storm so I’m kind of itching to see whether the hype is deserved. Have you read this??

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 title that I read a last June and really thoroughly enjoyed. Fast paced, entertaining, creepy and twisted. Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. Here are the covers:
My favourite:
Which is your favourite?
Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.
