Had such a wonderful evening listening to Janice Hallett (in Christmas jumper!! 🎄🎅) talking to Alex FourbearsBooks about writing, am dram, spirit animals and a love/hate relationship with true crime.
I've read and LOVED The Christmas Appeal - the perfect festive read. 🎄

Had a fab time tonight at FourbearsBooks with a packed house of lovely readers who politely listened to my ramblings and asked the most insightful questions 😍 Thanks Alex and everyone for such a warm welcome 🙏 and making my trip to Caversham so special 🔎🕵️‍♀️ #thechristmasappeal

Can’t wait to re-read The Beresford then devour his sibling once my new tablets have kicked in. Also Upstairs at the Beresford was wrapped so lovely by FourbearsBooks i *almost* don’t want to unwrap it Will Carver #BookTwitter #BooksWorthReading

Katrina FourbearsBooks FWIW if you follow the delightful Paul Couchman - Regency Cook he recently posed that question about Christmases on one's own, and the responses are great, and inspiring. You might find some ideas there ... as well as having a day trip to Fourbears of course ☺🙏🏼
