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 Day 11 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 : Mistletoe – a little bit of romance:

Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis:

Romantasy is definitely having it’s moment in the spotlight and, indeed, I’m loving it too – which is quite unusual for me – but, tastes change, what can I say?  Burgis is fantastic at bringing fantasy settings together with cosy romance – she excels at it, I can’t say enough good things.  And her books really fit the prompt of ‘a little bit of romance’ – because her world building, characters and story don’t play second fiddle to the romance.  If you’ve not read her books yet I highly recommend them and you have so much good reading to look forward to.

Tomorrow’s prompt: Holly and Ivy – a book with great world building
