Today is day 6 of my countdown to 2023. Today’s prompt is ‘Christmas Stocking’ and I’ve used a book that was approx 240 pages and could almost be read in one sitting – especially once it grabs your attention. 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 STOCKING (a novella or short story)
Road of Bones by Christopher Golden packed a lot of punch for a book of approx 240 pages. An environmental folklore horror story if you will that was absolutely compelling.
Tomorrow: Christmas Tree – traditional winter read

CHOCOLATES (a book that was simply delicious)
Nettle and Bone was my first experience of reading T Kingfisher but it certainly won’t be my last. This book was definitely delicious.

Today is day 4 of my countdown to 2023. Today’s prompt is ‘presents’ and I’ve used a book that took me by surprise. 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:
PRESENTS (a book you enjoyed more than you expected)
Black Tide by KC Jones – obviously I liked the sound of this one but at the same time I was a little bit worried as the description mentioned a likeness to Cujo which is a style of horror that doesn’t always work for me. As it happens this was truly a gift of a read because I loved it.
Tomorrow: Chocolates – a book that was simply delicious
