Countdown to 2026: Day 16 – Turkey Dinner – eye’s too big for your belly? A chunkster

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 16 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: Turkey Dinner– eye’s too big for your belly?  A chunkster

King Sorrow by Joe Hill is definitely a fitting book for today’s prompt weighing in at a massive 896 pages – but don’t let that deter you from picking this up because it’s really, really good.  Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved The Empire of the Wolf series which concluded with this third fantastic instalment. Each book was around 500 pages which isn’t too long and they certainly didn’t feel like chunky reads, especially as I tore through them.

Today is day 16 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.

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due weighs in at just shy of 600 pages – but it certainly doesn’t feel like a big book when you’re reading it because the pages seem to fly by.  Dark, horrific and difficult but an absolute must read.

Countdown to 2023 – Day 16 ‘Turkey Dinner’ (15 days remaining)

Today is day 16 (woohoo – I’m over half way through) of my countdown to 2023.  Today’s prompt is ‘Turkey Dinner’.  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:

TURKEY DINNER (A book that is almost too big to face)

For this prompt I’ve chosen a book that I had reservations about requesting.  It’s (more or less) 500 pages and whilst I wanted to read it I was also a little worried that I might not be in the right mood – I’m so glad I picked this up though.  It completely won me over and was a compelling read.  The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf #1) by Richard Swan.
