Thanks for taking the time to send your beautiful post. Here's to saying 'enough'. Congrats on writing the 'bloody' novel! I love the idea of looking back on the year in all of the ways - family, writing, health, relationships etc. On this date last year, I was coming out of the rehab hospital with a double knee replacement! Much love to you for a gorgeous Christmas and time to relax. xx
I’m so glad you did send this! Reading your words is always uplifting. Also pleased I got to chat with you at two of those festivals. Among my favourite books of the year are those you recommended.
Thank you dear Juliet - that's reason enough to keep writing and recommending! And yes, so lovely to chat to you, too. Here's to a wonderful new year for you and yours xx
What a joy to read your final newsletter of the year. It was exactly what I needed after a crazy busy and emotional year. Thanks for your soothing words and for the reminder to take a breath and enjoy a mince pie. For me, that's enough.
I read this in the whirl of a very busy airport and it was salt to my skin. Thank you, Kate for these words, for all you do for our book community, and for the moments and conversations both public and otherwise that I’ve been lucky to share with you in 2024. Wishing enough to you and your beloveds. Enjoy your break ❤️
Oh here's to salt on skin dear Holly xxxx HUGE love to you and right back at you in gratitude for YOU and your words xxxx Big love to you and yours xxxx
This was well worth the read time, thank you. My daughter and I bought your book in the library after a lovely storytime a few weeks ago and I’ve only just connected the dots and realised I’ve also been reading your substacks all year! All the best for 2025 💜
Oh Rree - I love that connection! Thank you for reading here and the picture book! All the good things (including lots of books) to you and yours in 2025 x
Gorgeous post, gorgeous woman. And any year that has Garner dissolving in giggles is a clear win. More than enough xx 😘
