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 30 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: Family and Friends – a book with great characters:
For today’s prompt I’ve chosen The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry. At first glance this may appear like an unlikely contender for today’s prompt with its creepy house vibe, not to mention the font itself screams ‘horror’, but, the characters really make this novel stand out and in fact it is my favourite by the author so far.

Today is day 30 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: Family and Friends – a book with great characters

For today’s prompt I’ve chosen a book that fits the prompt perfectly. Phil Williams’ However Many Must Die by Phil Williams is overflowing with great characters – you can’t fail to find a favourite amongst it’s pages.

Today is day 30 of my countdown to 2023 – woot, only one day remaining. Today’s prompt is ‘Family and Friends ’. 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:
FAMILY AND FRIENDS (A book with great characters)
I’ve gone for a series that I’m really enjoying and where the characters are fantastic. This is an urban fantasy based in Manchester in the UK (so I confess I have a soft spot immediately for that reason alone) but, on top of that this is packed with great imagination and I love reading it. The Stranger Times series by CK McDonnell. Book 1 is The Stranger Times, followed by This Charming Man and the most recent instalment Love Will Tear Us Apart which was just amazing. My review will be up soon.
