Countdown to 2026: Day 9 – Fairy Lights – something magical

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 9 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 : Fairy Lights – something magical:

The Faerie Morgana by Louisa Morgan

Beautifully written and full of magic.  I’ve taken a quote from my review which demonstrates not only just how much I loved this but also how well it fits today’s prompt – the author ‘managed to transport me to a mythical world full of magic and superstition, court politics and intrigue’.  A story to be savoured.

Today is day 9 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:  Fairy Lights – something magical

Onceamonster

Once a Monster by Robert Dinsdale.  A book that manages to marry the Victorian period with a creature straight out of Greek mythology. Beautifully written and absolutely wonderful.  I loved it.
