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 18 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: Glitter – Christmas Cards – a book with a message:
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix:
This book gave me plenty of food for thought. Particularly about what these girls went through.

For today’s prompt I’ve chosen: Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis
This is the second instalment in The Queens of Villainy series. I’m very much looking forward to this one as Wooing the Witch Queen got off to a great start. This is one of my January review books but if I could squeeze it in before the year end it would make me very happy.
