The Bookvent Calendar 2024: The Full and Final Countdown
The Bookvent Calendar 2024: The Full and Final Countdown Celebrating my favourite reads of 2024 in full. #bookthreads #books #bookstagram #booksky #booklovers #thebookventcalendar2024
I do love December. Not because of Christmas – can take or leave most of that (apart from the now traditional curry). Because it forces me to look back across the books I have read and reviewed to choose my top reads of the year, all to create my Bookvent Calendar. It is a hard job whittling the books down from nearly 200 to 24 but somehow I manage it. I have only a few rules to help my make the…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: My 2023 Book of the Year
And now it is finally time to name my Book of the Year. I loved this book from the moment I started reading, a book that combines my love of mystery, gothic & with a classic horror vibe. A triumph. @TheCraigRussell @LittleBrownUK #bookvent
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 And here we are – my favourite read of 2023. I have had a wonderful year full of fabulous books, and I can honestly say that this has been one of the hardest decisions to come to in all my years of running Bookvent. There have been some really excellent books this year but this one really stuck with me from the moment I read it. Like the author, I’ve…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Nine
My day nine #bookvent choice is a book that is packed with action, thrills and a truly unforgettable lead character - a man who really knows no fear. @MWCravenUK @LittleBrownUK #books #bookvent2023 #fearless #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day nine #bookvent selection is by an author who has created one of the most memorable and celebrated series in recent years. His skill for creating lovable, if somewhat unconventional, characters is immeasurable, as his ability to create dark and twisted stories to enthral, entertain and amuse readers. This book, however, is a standalone, but the…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Two
Day two of the 2023 #bookvent countdown sees me sharing my thoughts on a beautiful and bewitching gothic tale of three generations of women. Evocative, and thought provoking, it was an easy bookvent pick @EmiliaHartBooks @BoroughPress #books
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 Day two of #bookvent sees me celebrating a very different kind of book, but one which tapped into my love of things that are a little ‘otherworldy’. I’m not a lover of Sci-fi or fantasy, those are two genres I’ve never quite gelled with, but I do love a good spook story, or stories with a supernatural element, and I grew up loving ghost stories and…

Bookvent Day Thirteen: Ghostbird by Lisa Fuller
Genre: Supernatural
Quote: 'The hate our families have for each other is legend. One of those small town things were no one knows how it started but every generation keeps it alive me included. I've always thought most Millers are a waste of oxygen but seeing May just makes me sad. Nan used to say she wasn't always that way, something bad happened to her so we should be good to her Miller or not.'

Bookvent Day Twelve: The Unadoptables by Hana Tooke
Genre: Middle-Grade Fantasy/Middle-Grade Historical Fiction
Quote: 'The ground floor was the only part of the orphanage that didn't look as if a mere sneeze would demolish it. In the main foyer the marble floor was polished to a shine, the walls were painting a charming shade of violet and a tall grandfather clock ticked and tocked in the corner.'
