Hope everyone had a very enjoyable christmas break!
I have been locked away trying to finish the 1st draft of my novel by New Years Eve. A £500 bet is riding on it!
Currently have one long scene left to write in the epilogue!.... eeek!

Morning all.

The icy cold weather has broken in the UK and temperatures rising in time for Christmas - we rarely get a snowy Christmas here.

Are you looking forward to Christmas or is it something you dislike?
I'd like to enjoy it more, but I have an aversion to proscribed 'enjoyment' - the idea that because it's a certain date (christmas, birthday, a party etc) that I will be in the mood to enjoy it. Just not how I'm built. I prefer spontaneous fun.

A book recommendation if you like psychological thrillers - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45360527-the-silent-patientI
I enjoyed this book quite a lot. A good premise, characters, and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. The basic story of this psychological thriller is of a psychotherapist who tries to help a woman convicted of killing her husband and who has stopped speaking.
As a debut novel it was written well (though I listened to the audiobook which was well voiced and acted)
