Ah, tis the season to end up in car park queues because you realise on Christmas eve that you forgot to buy more dog food when you did the grocery shopping the previous week to try and avoid going near the shops that close to Christmas – dumb ass I am.
On the 14th my littlest baby turned two and I am still in shock as to where that last two years have gone. I wrote a poem about it HERE.
On the 21st I got to have dinner with some fantastic people including the lovely Lynette Noni at Pantera press house in Sydney. I felt super blessed to have been invited and was ecstatic when we got to take home a copy of Vardaesia before its release. I am still buzzing from it.
Christmas day was overwhelming and tinged with sadness, as it was the first one since my grandmothers passing. But she raised a strong bunch and we will always come through.

RIOT’S REDEMPTION 
I loved the Hex Hall series when I’d read it years ago too Sarah, just nice clean fun isn’t it. I can imagine Christmas must have been incredibly bittersweet this year without your lovely grandmother, she would be looking down on all her gathered family enjoying each others company. I’m so envious that you met Lynette Noni! I can’t wait to crack my copy open soon, I’m nervous it being a finale but know Lynette would have pulled it off beautifully! ♡
Thanks Kelly ❤
You won't be disappointed 🙂 🙂
