\"wishlist\"<\/p>\n

and things I’m looking forward to this year<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 My husband being cancer-free for a year. It’s been a battle since his initial diagnosis in 2013 so fingers crossed this is the year.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Having the sequel to A Shadow in the Past accepted for publication. I know if I want that to happen, I have to get my skates on and get the synopsis and back cover blurbs done.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Reading the 40 books I’ve committed to reading in the Goodreads 2016 challenge.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Curling up with my good friend, Chris Longmuir’s, 2016<\/a> release which will knock 1 of the 40 books off the list *grin*<\/strong> She’s put it in writing that there will be a book out this year, so I’m holding her to that.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Spending evenings with my hubby on our new reclining sofa<\/a> being delivered on January 9th (doesn’t it look comfy?) in front of our new fireplace<\/a>. We didn’t buy each other Christmas presents in 2015 but rather these instead.<\/p>\n

6. Having my #NaNoWriMo project completed and released this spring… again this is something I<\/strong> have to commit to. It’s coming along so I’ll keep my fingers crossed (although that does make it rather difficult to type) and will need occasional kicks up the backside to keep me on track.<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Another trip abroad?<\/p>\n

Well those are things on my wishlist. What do you have on yours? I’d love to hear about them so leave me a comment.<\/p>\n
