Well it’s been A Year - most of which I spent feeling like Eyore. However, in the spirit of positivity, here are the things I’ve really enjoyed/the things that kept me going. (Thread)
The two Kate’s over at @thefirsttimepod kept me entertained during lockdown and homeschooling. So many interesting writers! Such great questions! So many books to add to my TBR. I’m proud to support this podcast via patreon

Visiting Melbourne and Brisbane booksellers in February the week before the pandemic hit Oz. How weird does that plane picture look?! I’ve not flown since! As always, it was so nice to connect with booksellers

The kindness of fellow dog lovers who sent their condolences after my adorable dopey Labrador Nala passed away in February
I felt much less alone after hearing your stories. Thank you x

Launching a book during the first wave of the pandemic when bookshops, libraries shut down. Thanks to many of you, my book did not sink into obscurity as I feared it would. Thank you for tweeting, buying and reading my book. I’m very grateful.
My incredibly supportive local bookshops - Harry Hartog Miranda, Berkelouw Cronulla and The Best Little Bookshop in Town.
