2024 Book Advent – Day Twenty-Four! Day 24 - the final day! - of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... And So This is Christmas by Brian Bilston! I have been following Brian Bilston's poetry on social media for quite a while now and so couldn't think of a better book to complete my 2024 advent calendar than his book of 'Seasonally Adjusted Poems'. Here's more about the book:

#Day24 - the final day! - of my bookish advent is #AndSoThisIsChristmas by Brian Bilston!

2024 Book Advent – Day Twenty-Two! Day 22 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... Autumn by Ali Smith! This has been on my wishlist since it was shortlisted for the Man Booker in 2017, so it's about time I finally got round to reading it! Here's more about the book: Blurb: A once-in-a-generation series, Ali Smith's Seasonal quartet is a tour-de-force about love, time, art, politics, and how we live now.

2024 Book Advent – Day Twenty-One! Day 21 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... The Butterfly Summer by Harriet Evans! I've already read a few books by this author, so I know she does a good line in ominous childhood secrets, exploring girlhood and womanhood, and the trauma of dysfunctional family dynamics, so I suspect that light summery cover is hiding something darker! Here's more about the book:

2024 Book Advent – Day Twenty! Day 20 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... A Spring Affair by Millie Johnson! I do love a good 'set' of books and this one promises further Four Seasons romances if I enjoy it. Plus, I'm hoping it might inspire me to do a bit of decluttering here at Shine central... miracles can happen! Here's more about the book:

2024 Book Advent – Day Nineteen! Day 19 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... One Day in December by Josie Silver! I don't generally pick up festive stories, especially festive love stories - just a personal preference! - but this one sounds really sweet so I'm happy to give it a try. Maybe it will warm my frosty fantasy-loving heart?! Here's more about the book:

2024 Book Advent – Day Eighteen! Day 18 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... a day late AGAIN - sorry! Here it is... ... November 9 by Colleen Hoover! I have actually read It Ends With Us by the same author way back in 2017 (before my blog started!) for a book group pick and it sparked some interesting discussions. It'll be interesting to see how this book compares.

#Day18 of my bookish advent was #November9 by Colleen Hoover!

2024 Book Advent – Day Seventeen! Day 17 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... October October by Katya Balen! I do love a good children's book and this one sounds great - very wild and autumnal. Here's more about the book: Blurb: A classic in the making for anyone who ever longed to be WILD. October and her dad live in the woods. They know the trees and the rocks and the lake and stars like best friends.

2024 Book Advent – Day Sixteen! Day 16 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... a day late - sorry! Here it is... ... September by Rosamunde Pilcher! Another 'Twentieth Century Classic' here, from an author that I have heard of but never read. This looks and sounds more serious than my usual reading fare, so I will be interested to see how I get on with it.

2024 Book Advent – Day Fourteen! Day 14 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... What July Knew by Emily Koch! I love a mystery that has a unique hook, so the tagline 'One death. Eighteen facts. What's the truth?' grabbed me immediately. Then the comparison to Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey sealed the deal! Here's more about the book: Blurb: One death.

2024 Book Advent – Day Twelve! Day 13 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young! This sounds right up my street - mystery, romance and a touch of magic - but it was the gorgeous cover that really sold me on it! Here's more about the book: Blurb: In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her.

2024 Book Advent – Day Twelve! Day 11 of my 2024 bookish advent calendar is... ... The Darling Buds of May by H.E. Bates! I've heard loads about the TV series (starring David Jason, Pam Ferris and Catherine Zeta Jones) but haven't seen an episode, so maybe reading the book will help me find a new TV series to watch too...! Here's more about the book:

Image shows a stack of 3 books. 2 are laying on their side. The 1 standing, which is the focus of this post & the book that the poster received for day 12 of their family’s bookish advent is A. M. Shine’s newest novel—Stay In The Light. This book is a sequel to The Watchers (1 of the two books laying down). The 2nd book laying down is another Shine novel—The Creeper.

Day 12 of #BookishAdvent & my turn’s come round again. 📚🎄

A. M. Shine’s got some wonderfully creepy tales to tell.
