Once again I am counting down to the New Year, as with the previous two 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 26 of the countdown to 2025 and a list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2025 and casting a spotlight on some of your favourite books (if you join in please leave me a link so I can check out your book choices).
Today’s Prompt : Boxing Day – feeling bloated, a palate cleanser:
You Are Here by David Nicholls is a lovely, satisfying, light hearted read. It feels outside of the genres that I normally read in but I’ve read and enjoyed books by this author before so wanted to read this and it really was like a refreshing breath of fresh air.

Okay, that critter on the cover looks nothing like a reindeer – but it’s flying, and it’s taking someone on a journey. Lots of critters in this book – it’s crazy how good a read this is. The Storm Beneath the World by Michael R Fletcher
