I've been off work this week which has been great as it's meant that I've been able to focus all my time on getting ready for Christmas. I can't believe it's December already! I feel like I have so much that I still want to do before 2021 ends.

This week I put up my Christmas tree and got the Christmas candles out. I love having the house smell all Christmas-y. I'm also almost done with Christmas shopping. I just have to buy for my mum now and I have no idea what to get her. I may still get little bits and bobs for my nephew and brother and sister-in-law too. I've also managed to get my Christmas cards written so at least now I just have to post them or give them to everyone now.

    1. I've put Wild Swans on hold just now. I was enjoying listening to it, but it's pretty heavy. I'm really enjoying the Percy Jackson series so hope you get the chance to read soon.

    1. I didn't enjoy Ninth House as much as I hoped. I still liked it, but it's not one I'm going to rush out to get the sequel for... But I hope you enjoy it better than me!
