Today is day 6 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: Christmas stocking – stocking fillers – a novella or short story
Thornhedge by T Kingfisher. Such a lovely short story. I absolutely loved it.

Claws and Contrivances by Stephanie Burgis. I love this author and these regency fantasy stories are fantastic. Claws and Contrivances is my favourite book so far – it absolutely bowled me over and if you love Regency Romantasy, with dragons, then do yourself a favour and tuck into this series (Regency Dragons), you won’t regret it.

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.
