Today I’m returning to the Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy). 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 comment/link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.
This week I’ve chosen a horror story as this fits in nicely with Books, Bones & Buffy‘s Summer of Horror event. I haven’t read this book yet and I’ve heard slightly mixed reviews but I’m intrigued so hoping to pick it up soon. Headlights by CJ Leede – check out the covers (both a bit disturbing imo):

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 10 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 : Under the Tree – a book you forgot you owned:
American Rapture by CJ Leede (linked to Goodreads)
I read so many good reviews for this that I simply couldn’t resist and bought it for myself so it seems fitting that it takes the prompt for ‘under the tree’ as it truly was a gift (to me)! To be honest with you I haven’t forgotten this little nugget so much as simply not managed to make time. Never say never though.

Tomorrow’s prompt: Mistletoe – a little bit of romance
