A to Z Challenge 2023 – Q

Welcome to day seventeen of the A-Z Challenge and today’s letter is Q.

The A-Z Challenge involves blogging every day except Sundays and each day corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. The daily posts most relate to that letter and can all have a theme or can be totally random. My theme this year is Recommended Reading, where I will share three to five books for each letter that I have really enjoyed and think more people should read.

I have tried to have a mix of authors and genres but you will notice some real favourites occurring more than once. The posts do contain affiliate links (don’t worry, they don’t affect you in any way but if you want to know more, check the end of the post). Below you will find today’s chosen books:

Q by Christina Dalcher

Christina Dalcher is another of my favourite authors and I have loved all of her books. Q is set in a time where children go to school depending on their Q scores and it tells the story of a teacher who thinks the system works really well – until her daughter falls below the required Q score and is sent away to a different type of school.

The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

Kelsey has grown up in a cabin in the woods believing herself to be the daughter of a poor but kind couple, only to learn the truth on her sixteenth birthday – she is actually the heir to the throne and she has been hidden away for all of these years to keep her safe, but now she must step up and lead. I love how Kelsey starts to step up and lead and how her guard come to respect her when they realise she isn’t just a dumb kid. I also think Kelsey’s doubts are portrayed well and she isn’t like a chosen one, perfect over night. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

Quake by Richard Laymon

I love Richard Laymon’s books. He has a very easy to read writing style and his books are always a thrill ride of horror that leaves readers shocked and intrigued to find out more and Quake is definitely a page turner. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.
