Countdown to 2026: Day 4 – Gifts – a book you enjoyed more than you expected to

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 4 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 : Gifts – a book you enjoyed more than you expected to:

The Rush by Beth Lewis.

I really enjoyed this. I’ve read the author before and really like her style so I didn’t hesitate in requesting this but it’s outside my usual ‘type’ of read so I did wonder if it would work for me.  It did.

I’ve highlighted three books for this – these were all authors that I read for the first time and I loved all three so thought they well deserved a spot in the light. Run, A Little Trickerie and Murder Road.

Today is day 4 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.

THEONLY ONE LEFT

The Only One Left by Riley Sager.  I have read only two books by this author and while the first one didn’t quite wow me – this one certainly did.  I loved it and couldn’t read the pages fast enough.  Highly entertaining and so much gothic.  No hesitation in recommending.
