Day 21 - an author no longer alive

It would have been very easy to use another Agatha Christie book for this prompt, but I'm trying to branch out a bit! 😆

'The Princess Bride' - William Goldman

Love both the book and the film.

Paperback copy of 'The Princess Bride' by William Goldman. The cover shows a man and a woman surrounded by fairies, which is a bit of an odd choice and doesn't reflect the story!

Day 18 - graphic novel

An easy choice today. Of course I'm going to choose the excellent 'Blakewood' by my very talented little brother @kevrooney.bsky.social

*Now with brand new full-colour covers*

#ShamelessPromo 😁 - they really are good though!

Day 17 - guilty pleasure

For this prompt I've chosen a book that people are often a bit snooty about but which I - and many, many others - found very entertaining (which is all I ask!)

'The Da Vinci Code' - Dan Brown

Read whatever you enjoy! 😀

I might make that my reading goal for 2026. Maybe I'll be less reluctant to pick it up if I tell myself I only have to read a chapter at a time, and maybe I'll get so caught up in it I'll end up reading the whole thing!

Day 14 - (one of) my favourite classic(s)

'Emma' - Jane Austen

Joint favourite Jane Austen book (with 'Pride & Prejudice').
I was gifted a boxed set of Austen novels, which is great but I hate the covers on them!

📚💙 #BookSky #Books #30DayBookChallenge #Readers
Paperback copy of 'Emma' by Jane Austen. The cover shows a close up of a blonde woman lying down with her eyes closed. It's a bit too modern looking for me!

A lot of reviewers on Goodreads loved it, but it just didn't work for me 🤷‍♀️

That is a problem! If it helps narrow it down a bit, they are in 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. Not saying which day though 😂

For some reason my mind has gone blank on the answer! 🙄

I'm pretty sure that it's an older book but not a "classic". If you can work out what kind of bird they are, you have half the title.

(And if it's not what I'm thinking it is then I'm very sorry!)
