"Confronting my grandmother the Baba Yaga"?

Eating My Grandmother: A Grief Cycle

Conversations: Confronting my
grandmother the Baba Yaga

I've crossed paths with Krissy Kneen at the Avid Reader Bookstore events a few times in the last few years and Krissy has always hit me as someone who is familiar to me in my life, in that do I know you from another lifetime kind of way, but I had never really seen Krissy in my life or in the media before I started to visit the bookstore.

It's one of those "where do I know you from before" kind of feelings that nags at my memory to unlock itself and give me the answer, but it won't.

I've written posts involving Krissy on the periphery, such as -

Is All Contemporary Non/Fiction Speculative Fiction?

The Garret Podcast: Speculative
Fiction with Krissy Kneen

Krissy Kneen Writer -
Teacher - Filmmaker - Artist

I remember looking up what sort of books Krissy had written and none of them appealed enough to me to want to buy and read, but this latest one is right up my ally by the sounds of it. 

And oddly enough, I haven't been listening to the 'Conversations' podcast for a few months because I was having downloading issues on my iPad with the podcast and unsubscribed out of frustration.

I only decided to give the podcast another go (it's downloading fine now) when I stumbled across Richard Fidler's book at a Bribie Island book exchange, as I wrote about coming across in this recent post -

I saw Krissy when I went to the Avid Reader bookshop to hear a talk by 'The Rosie Project' author Graeme Simsion and I got him to sign a book of his I had bought, and he commented that we must have the cast of the 'Bewitched' TV show here tonight, as so far, he had signed books for a Darren, a Samantha and a Tabitha -

"The daily drink at the witching hour is a running joke"?!

The funny thing is that I have had a 'Qweekend' newspaper lift-out sitting in a pile for my future "to-do" posts featuring Graeme Simsion in, which is over a year old now, and for the life of me I can't remember exactly what I was going to write about Graeme now in that future post.

It was probably there to remind me to get his two lasts books I bought read (which I'm still yet to do) just as much as to write the forgotten post I was going to write one day.

So, consider this post it, I guess:-)

Gold Lotto ending?!

Ironically, I noticed in that same 2020 lift-out an ad for the 2020 Bluesfest, which I had a Good Friday ticket for to see Alanis Morissette, which never went ahead because of the Covid pandemic -

Maybe it's time to read the book Graeme gave me on the night at the Avid Reader for being such a stand-up guy?-)

And maybe I should pick up a copy of Krissy's new book next time I'm in the Avid Reader?

The last time I was in the Avid Reader was to buy Trent Dalton's latest books (which I still haven't read yet, either:-) -
