The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twenty Two
My day twenty-two #bookvent pick is from one of my all time favourite series, featuring one my favourite characters. Dark, twisted and absolutely brilliant. @WriteAngie @bookouture #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day twenty-two #bookvent pick is one that is the latest book in a long running series that is one of of my all time favourites. Set in the West Midlands, there is so much about these books that makes me smile, so many areas that I recognise, which is always a bit sell when reading. BUt most of all it is the fabulous cast of characters that she has…

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…

And here we are. December. Bookvent season has begun, Christmas songs are playing (not in my house I hasten to add) and folks are busy trying not to be caught out by Whamageddon. I put my tree up, and can now officially eat my Christmas chocolates, right? Well, maybe the ones left from last year at least (not kidding – I really do have them still 🤣😂). I am on countdown, nine and a half working…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twenty Four
My penultimate #bookvent pick is one that has a real ripped from the headlines feel. A gripping thriller that exposes the darker side of Tinsel Town, I absolutely loved it. @jordan_harper @FaberBooks #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day twenty four #bookvent selection, my ‘runner up’ if you like for Book of the Year, and my penultimate pick of 2023, is one that has a true ‘ripped from the headlines’ feel about it. In fact, aside from the fact that the characters are fictitious, you’d be forgiven for thinking that what you were reading was less fiction and more a snippet from a…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twenty Three - Part Two
My 2nd day 23 #bookvent pick is another book outside of my beloved crime genre. Blending a touch os sci-fi with a story of family and friendships, it's beautiful. @michaelgrothaus @OrendaBooks #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 Part two of my day twenty-three #bookvent selections sees me taking another step away from my typical reads. This novel, again, is part science fiction, part crime thriller, and everything I love about fiction. I love that it completely upended my expectations. That it made me step outside of the everyday into a world that is not too distant from our…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twenty One
My day twenty-one #bookvent pick is so clever, and so addictive, it almost feels like a sin to read it. Does the Devil really exist? You decide. @will_carver @OrendaBooks #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day twenty-one #bookvent selection is from an author who has made being evil an art form. Who thinks nothing of making a protagonist of the Devil, and who frequently brings the darker sides of modern life to bear on the page . With each and every story, he manages to provide readers with bitingly honest and uncomfortably close to home reflection of…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twenty
My day twenty #bookvent pick is one that is so wrong, it's absolutely brilliant. With a lead who is the definition of anti-hero I just couldn't get enough. @simonkernick @headlinepg #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day twenty #bookvent selection is one that I had been looking forward to reading but one that really caught me by surprise. I knew, and enjoyed, the author’s previous books, but this one really did hit the spot. With tension and intrigue from the start, nothing could prepare me for the twist that is thrown in at the very beginning. It’s something…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Twelve
My day 12 #bookvent selection is the second in a series featuring a favourite character of mine. Dark, compulsive and packed with tension, its an emotional rollercoaster of a read @FionaAnnCummins @panmacmillan #books #bookvent2023
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day twelve #bookvent selection is a real humdinger of a read. Featuring a ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ style couple, a damaged and dark Detective and a family who are dealing with their own devastating fortunes, it’s one hell of a emotional roller coaster of a read and one that had my full attention from the very start. I love the main character in this book,…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Ten
My day ten #bookvent selection is by an atmospheric and creepy thriller, full of foreboding and duplicity. A master murder mystery and the ultimate family sacrifice. @sarah_hilary @panmacmillan #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar #books
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My tenth #bookvent selection is a book which really got under my skin. It was one of those impossible to write the review for reads, one which examines a dark event and the impact that it has upon a small community, in particular one family whose lives are forever changed by what comes to pass. With a very emotional storyline and an underlying air of…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Eight
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day eight #bookvent selection is a step away from my normal reads, in that, whilst it does contain aa mystery, and it is gothic in styling, it is historical fiction with a more fantastical theming than I might traditionally pick up, However, coming from the stable of one of my favourite publishers, my reading of the book was inevitable, and I am so…

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 Twenty Three - Part One
The first of 2 day 23 #bookvent picks as both were so good, I couldn't choose between them. Featuring a character so endearing and unforgettable, this book is fabulous. @doug_johnstone @OrendaBooks #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 It’s day twenty-three of #bookvent I have to admit to cheating a bit from here on it. In truth, my top four books are all fabulous and I had difficulty choosing between them all. Instead, I’ve got two books who take equal billing for day twenty three and I will follow up with my runner up read and book of the year, tomorrow. The first of my two picks…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Nineteen
My day nineteen #bookvent selection is a book that made me laugh from start to finish. Pantomime will never be the same again. @JaniceHallett @ViperBooks #books #thebookventcalendar #bookvent2023
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day nineteen #bookvent selection is one that had me tittering from the very beginning. There are so many elements of this book which appealed (no pun intended), from the very original styling of the narrative, to the underlying story, one which I could strangely identify with. Well, most of it at least. Short but very sweet, and perfectly seasonal,…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Eighteen
My day eighteen #bookvent pick is the final part of an absolutely brilliant trilogy. It's murder, mayhem and mathematics and I love it. @antti_tuomainen @OrendaBooks #books #bookvent2023 #thebookventcalendar
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day eighteen #bookvent selection is the final book in a triology that I have absolutely loved. Who knew that a recovering Insurance Actuary could be so addictive and loveable? Well. to be fair, it was to be expected given the pedigree of the author and how much I have loved his previous books. Closing out the series in perfect style, this book has…

The #Bookvent Calendar 2023: Day Seventeen
My day 17 #bookvent pick is from a series I adore, one which is so unique, beautifully written and full of humour and emotion it really should be in every collection. @doug_johnstone @OrendaBooks #books #bookvent2023
#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day seventeen #bookvent selection is from a series that I absolutely love, a wonderful set of stories of three generations of very different, beautifully independent and, in their own way, fierce women who combine two of the most diverse and contrasting careers anyone could imagine. They’ve battled betrayal, loss, corruption and, more recently,…
