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 13 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: Feast: a book that was magnificent:
For today’s prompt I’ve chosen:
I really did love The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow. It really is the perfect book for this prompt because the writing is absolutely delicious and the story really is a feast.

Today is day 13 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: Feast – a book that was magnificent
The Whispering Muse by Laura Purcell. I loved this. The setting, the plot, the writing, the dark gothic feel, the characters, the strange blending in of theatre and supernatural elements with such a deft touch. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.

Today is day 13 of my countdown to 2023. Today’s prompt is ‘Feast’. 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:
FEAST (A book that was magnificent)
Earlier this year I read Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel and frankly I don’t think I can even begin to express how in awe I am of this author. What an amazing book. On the face of it, this is a standalone book and so you can read it on it’s own but I would suggest backtracking and reading the earlier books because this will then mean so much more. Layers people, many layers. Please do yourself a favour and read this author – I beg you.
Tomorrow: Christmas pudding – if you could squeeze in just one more book for 2022
