Tracy Chevalier is one of my go to authors, she’s such a lovely writer.  The Glassmaker is an intriguing historical story of family and the way their lives adapt throughout the centuries.

Dowry2

A Dowry of Blood is a retelling of Dracula’s story told from a different perspective.  A dark and  seductive tale of obsession that ultimately is a story of hope.

Countdown to 2023 – Day 18 ‘Christmas Cards’ (13 days remaining)

Today is day 18 of my countdown to 2023.  Today’s prompt is ‘Christmas Cards’.  The prompts can be found here if you want to join in.  I’m hoping to use mostly books read this year.  Let’s begin:

CHRISTMAS CARDS (A book with a hidden message)

I’m running a slight cheat with this one because I’m actually using two books instead of one.  Basically, these are both recent reads, both about immortals, both rely on classic stories and both definitely contain a message, and yet, both are so very different in style and content.  A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson and Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste.

Tomorrow: Christmas Carols – a book with musicians, song or instruments
