Countdown to 2026: Day 5 – Chocolates – a book that was simply delicious

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 5 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 : Chocolates – a book that was simply delicious:

Vianne by Joanne Harris:

I don’t think I’ll ever have a more fitting book for this particular prompt.  This book is absolutely delicious.  It will make you long for cake and chocolates, not to mention all manner of other goodies.  It’s a lovely story, beautifully written and I highly recommend it.

Today is day 5 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.

Claws

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.
