Waiting on Wednesday (Special Santa’s Wishlist Edition) ~ The Sh!te Before Christmas by Serena Terry
Evening everyone!
Welcome all to a new Waiting on Wednesday! We are back to a very Special WoW. Christmas is coming closer and I got some books I would love from Santa.
And I organised by Need To Buy shelf so Santa has 28 books to pick from. That sounds a lot, I don’t need all of them (or well not in one go, haha), but with the ridiculousness of Amazon I wanted to give my Santa all the options. Because I know how hard it is to get books. I mean, I am trying to buy books for my hubby and today I tried 6 books. 4 were not available there and the alternatives it gave… well not doable, 1 was way above my budget for a book, and 1 was actually buyable. As you can see. It is not easy.
A lot of the books I would love for Christmas are actually already featured on the blog, but I still have a few I haven’t! dances
For today’s book, well two days ago I read Serena Terry’s first book and absolutely loved it. So of course I need the next book! I want to see how something that was mentioned in the end of book 1 is going (telling what is a spoiler, so there) + it is also all about Christmas, so it would be perfect to read around that time. I cannot wait to go back to Tara and see what happens next in her life.
Christmas time, toddler meltdowns, teenage angst, marriage problems and WINE.
This year, the perfect Christmas is going to take a miracle…
Twas the sh!te before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except for … mum!
Like every mum, Tara wants a perfect Christmas for her family – but no-one else is lifting a finger and she’s losing her elf-ing mind. From the kids behaving badly (vaping! Potty training! The Nativity!), to a distracted husband acting very out of character, the last straw is Tara’s glamorous, feckless, boundary-less mother moving herself back in for the holidays.
Can Tara pull off the holly jolly Christmas of her dreams? Will she deck the halls and not her family? Or is this a Christmas catastrophe waiting to happen?
