The only reason Red Side Story didn't make it into #BertVent was because it's a really complicated plot - and it's the sequel to Shades of Grey, so just can't be read on its own.
Incredible book though. I love Jasper Fforde. It was our second bestselling book of the year.
The final #BertVent book of this year is A Curtain Twitcher's Book of Murder by Gay Marris.
A great collection of short stories loosely connected by the street the characters all live on. A British, 1960's version of Desperate Housewives.
I cannot fault this one.
Last Christmas present wrapped, jokabokaflod done, now off for Christmas dinner with Meryl and my sister.
I’ll be back a bit later to reveal the last book of #Bertvent - plus a little festive giveaway!
And today's #BertVent title is All the Colours of the Dark by @WhittyAuthor
An extraordinary novel set in the heart of America. Chris has written an immersive story so deep that you'll never forget Patch and Saint.
Yesterday's #BertVent title was Falling Animals - another #BetweentheCovers find.
I read it in hardback in December last year, too late to put it on last year's Bertvent list, so the paperback edition is making it onto this years.
Extraordinary writing.
Bored Gay Werewolf came next on #BertVent - it's a fun, queer thriller about a werewolf who is just trying to live his life, when another one tries to convince him he can be more.
Deeper than it looks, it's a brilliant story about toxic masculinity and what it means to be gay.
William by Mason Coile is a brilliant, short horror novella about a man who builds a robot in his attic... but William starts to display signs of sentience...
#BertVent
Leading Man by @theguyliner is a brilliant gay rom-com that manages to do something new with the genre.
Sally's been reading this over the weekend, so I can't wait to talk to her about it!

The Examiner is another cracking book from @JaniceHallett - once again told in the form of emails and texts and forum messages, it's another clever mystery that will have you kicking yourself for missing the blindingly obvious.

@OskarCoxJensen The Actor by Chris MacDonald tells the tale of an actor who will do anything to get what he wants. Told across two timelines, this is so intense in places, and created a strong visual that I'm not going to forget in a long time. #BertVent
Day 3 of #BertVent featured Sandwich by Catherine Newman.
Newman is fast becoming one of my favourite writers - and is firmly on my must buy list.
It's a simple story about a woman trying to find her place in the world now that her kids are grown.
Next up in #BertVent was The Betrayal of Thomas True by @AJWestAuthor
This is the story of murder in the molly houses in Georgian London - a side of London we don't normally get to see.
I've been a bit rubbish with #BertVent this year... We've still been doing it, but I've forgotten to tell you what they are.
So we're gonna do a mega-thread!
These are the books I've enjoyed the most in this year. Each day during December, we've given one away!

The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr is next on my list of favourite books of 2024.
This is a fun puzzle that you can solve along as the main character tries to work out the riddle behind his true parentage #BertVent
Every day in December I’m revealing my favourite books of the year in #BertVent
The latest book to be revealed is The Actor by Chris McDonald. - I loved this, it was so intense and it kept me reading late into the night!
Helle & Death was today’s #Bertvent book.
Yesterday’s was Death on the Lusitania, but apparently I forgot to take a picture of that…!
The Betrayal of Thomas True is today’s #BertVent book. It’s the story of murder and – obviously – betrayal in the molly houses of Georgian London
