Historical fiction, dual timeline and the Titanic. Three of my favorites 😍

I listened to the audiobook of this book and I loved it!!! I love the characters and the narrators of the book. The story was beautiful too. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars!!!

Maggie leaves her Irish home, along with others from her village to travel on the Titanic to America. This story skips back and forth from 1912 to 1982 and explores the Titanic tragedy‘s impact on its survivors and their descendants.

Went for a little twist on #Mayday, this is the international distress call, so chose a Titanic book I have recently read.

Recommend this book.

Although historical fiction is not a genre I typically read, I have been trying to read more.

Whether the facts about the Titanic in this novel are accurate or not, I couldn't tell you. I really enjoyed this book though. It follows a group of young women hoping for a better life in America, but sadly they don't all survive. It's told from the pov of the girl who survives, and her great granddaughter.

It's an immersive and heartfelt read. 💚

Starting chapter 1 now...

Only my second Hazel Gaynor book but really loved both of them. If you enjoy Titanic books, or historical fiction books with a dual time line then I strongly recommend this one which was engaging from beginning to end. Really brings home the emotions of the Titanic before, during and after the unsinkable ship does exactly that. Be prepared to feel your heart strings being pulled.

Started listening to this book about The Titanic. Enjoyed the previous book I read by Hazel Gaynor, which took in Grace Darling‘s exploits.

Now at 22 hrs 28 mins in the #24B4Monday Readathon.

Today, April 15th 2019, marks the 107th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic. This blend of fact and fiction story is one awesome read. Slow burn and character driven, I enjoyed Gaynor's writing.

Rating: 4🌟

I liked this book, it really made me think of the people on Titanic as real people. Also I enjoyed reading the story from the lower class passengers‘ perspective. Maybe it‘s just the books that I have read, but a lot of the ones I‘ve read are from the first class perspective. This is a typical historical romance. Slightly sappy, but I still liked it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The first of several #Titanic novels I plan to read this month. This was an excellent story of a young Irish girl surviving the Titanic disaster. I love the narrator. The story also has dual timelines, we see Maggie and her great granddaughter Grace in 1982. #Overdrive

What a great book! It also gave me an addition to our list of baby names.

I enjoyed listening to this book on Audible. I love a book that crosses generations and anything about the Titanic!

• 106 years ago today—early this morning, actually—the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. I‘ll never forget how learning about this fated ship impacted my young life and kicked off a lifelong fascination with the incredibly tragic story. My love for this ship will “go on.” •

Reading the last book from #lmpbc selected by @mariaku21 and let's just say I'm only halfway through and already emotional.

 @mariaku21 I should have it in mail by Saturday sorry for sending it back so late.

The second novel from #LMPBC Round 1-
This got off to a slow start for me, but picked up steam as I approached the halfway mark. A story of survival in the face of tragedy that I really enjoyed, though I felt that things wrapped up a bit too neatly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

So goood. Historical fiction done well. Fourteen people from the same village in Ireland board Titanic at Southampton April 11, 1912

Absolutely loved this book! It will be one I will read time and again.

Another book on my tbr pile on Goodreads. I also love Titanic, but have never read anything to do with it. Bonus: the narrator is Irish xD 💛

I feel like there are better Titanic-based stories out there. This book was just okay. It felt too predictable and at times really cliche.

Homework first...but I would rather be reading instead, duh.

Titanic Remembrance Day...😪💔

Starting this today while my little one is in her therapy appointment. (It's for speech therapy, nothing wrong with her. She just doesn't want to talk yet.) #LitsyAtoZ #LetterG @BookishMarginalia

I'm not good at saying no to deals. 🙄 5 are these were purchased tonight.

This looked too good to not pick up 😊📚

I've been fascinated by the Titanic for as long as I can remember. So many different people with so many dreams when tragedy struck. This book follows Maggie and a group of people from her town in Ireland while also jumping to the "future" to 1982 to Maggie's granddaughter Grace. I loved this tale based on and actual group from Ireland. While we all know what happened to Titanic I found myself hoping for a different outcome.

This book was okay. The story is entertaining but the characters felt two-dimensional and flat. Even their names were utterly forgettable. Plus it's easy to guess how the story wraps up before you get there because it hint-drops like crazy. It's unfortunate because it had so much more potential. 😟
