I got a little distracted by watching the new Taskmaster Champion of Champions episode - because some true icons were competing - I made myself a cup of tea and devoured the chocolate ⭐️

Thank you to my Santa @MrsMalaprop - everything is beautiful and I look forward to reading both books.

The Amber Owl & The Incandescent have both been looking forlornly at me all throughout the year, so now that I have them at home…

Ok well, it took me a minute to remember where I stashed this (I yeeted it right to the back of bottom shelf of my pantry. Totally normal spot) AND now it‘s opening time!

Merry Christmas Eve to my fellow #AussieSecretSanta‘s

You saw me before I saw you. In the airport, that day in August, you had that look in your eyes, as though you wanted something from me, as though you‘d wanted it for a long time.

Now that I‘ve had my birthday - I can concentrate on Christmas…

We are a week out from #aussiesecretsanta opening day - so this is my last check in. I‘m hoping everything is either in transit or received…

Unrelated but I love this statue, and I couldn‘t resist taking a photo when I saw the Santa hat when I wandered past it on Wednesday.

MrsMalaprop My hometown 🥰. Happy belated birthday and Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 🙏. 7d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats 🤣🤣🤣 I always think of the opening sequence to Lift Off when I walk past it… 7d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @MrsMalaprop, thank you! Merry Christmas! 7d
Jhullie I haven‘t been home for over a week. I asked my son but he said he had collected so many parcels he didn‘t know which one I meant. 6d

Where I find the best book. I don't want to return it to Mum, but I must. Many thanks to Alice Pung for sharing your polished words in Unpolished Gem.

Posted and received!
My #aussiesecretsanta and #jolabokaflodswap parcels were sent off this morning. I didn‘t get a photo because I had to queue for 40 minutes and by the time I got to the counter I was almost passing out with pain, but both are winging their way to the recipients now.
I also received my own parcel yesterday and it is snuggled under my tree, distracting me every time I glance that way.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag 40 minutes 🤯 Post Office the place to be in December! It‘s looking very festive under your tree 🎄 (edited) 3w
CarolynM I‘ve received a parcel from you today. Thank you! I think it is #jolabokaflodswap ? (edited) 2w
Jhullie @CarolynM spot on! I meant to write that on it, sorry. 2w

Nearly a Pan. Seemed very long to me , wasn‘t sure where it was going so I kept going, seems it was going nowhere. The narrator was a female but I had to keep reminding myself as the voice felt like male to me.
Picked up because it had a rainbow sticker and the author is Aussie.

Absolutely brilliant.
Her plot, the characters and their imperfections are gorgeous in her writing.
Id found Monkey Grip really challenging so very relieved this was so good.
