This is the story about a miserable excuse of a man and the man he‘s been coerced to murder, an Englishman who lived in #Ireland, during their escape aboard ship to NYC from the famine. But a lot of folks have reasons to commit the murder, and does he really “deserve” to die? There are a lot of side stories that all tie back to these two characters. I wasn‘t terribly keen on the writer‘s style but it was a good, interesting read. #bookedintime ⬇️

The Star Of The Sea | Joseph O'Connor

What happens when Ireland meets a Hawaii institution. Thought I‘d share my lunch & dinner for St. Patrick‘s Day. I didn‘t feel like cooking this weekend but wanted corned beef & cabbage. The closest easiest thing was to run to Zippy‘s (think Hawaii Denny‘s) for their special today. No potatoes, it‘s served plate-lunch style with 2 scoops rice & mac salad! 😂 And of course I had to add-on the drink lilikoi punch & Napple special (apple turnover).⬇️

DebinHawaii … & their other special “Pot of Gold Soup” (there‘s the potatoes!) 😉 While not traditional it was/is delicious. Eating half for lunch & other half for dinner & the Napple for tomorrow‘s breakfast.

I‘ve only just started this book for #FoodandLit #Ireland & #BookedInTime but I hope to read more tonight after work. ☘️ 💚🍀 5d

Will be focusing more on King once I finish Murder on the Links for #ChristieCapers. Starting Star of the Seafor #BookedinTime, hoping the audio is good. Meet Cute Diary is for #TransRightsReadathon. That and my buddy reads will take up my reading time.

#WeeklyForecast

Amiable I‘m reading the King book right now —in hardcover! So it‘s taking me a while because I‘m not carting it around. 😖😄 22h

kspenmoll @Andrew65 Up until Buried Angels I was listening to audiobooks in the series so it was different to read without the audio voices but I think@the next in the series is also only in book form. I am loving this series- don‘t want it to end! 5d

Cuilin @Texreader without “spoilers” did you enjoy it? 1w

Vansa I'm not doing this read-along, but I have read this book, and I found it devastating. I loved how the writer balances personal experience along showing you the wider socio-economic reasons for the Famine in Ireland. 1w

Cuilin @Vansa perfect description. 1w

kspenmoll I could not put this book down. So i kept on reading… felt so up close & personal. One of my great greats on my dad side cane over as a 12 year old during that time. There used to be an exhibit at Quinnipiac College in CT on the famine but it lost his home there & has not landed anywhere else. My son saw the exhibit-I did not unfortunately. 1w

Cuilin @kspenmoll oh my gosh, I think of that 12-year-old as a boy making the voyage and then having to sit on a ship because of quarantine rules to then finally make it and now you‘re here able to tell the tale. Amazing! Do you know where in Ireland? 1w

kspenmoll @Cuilin Dunquin,County Kerry. My dad‘s mom side, O‘Dalaigh, eventually becoming Daly here. Two sibs survived & died in 1870 in Dunquin, 3 are not accounted for so presumed died during famine. 1w

kspenmoll Some of my other relatives came over through Montreal- in early 1870. I don‘t know when they arrived in Canada, whether it was during the famine or not. My Abbott grandfather was born in Newfoundland, & my brother found family graves from mid 1800s. (edited) 1w

AnneCecilie I like it and I‘m keeping to the schedule, but sometimes the way it‘s told takes me out of the story. And I haven‘t quite figured out the point of the extracts from the letters throughout (edited) 1w

Cuilin @kspenmoll so beautiful you have so much of your history. Dún Chaoin, is in the Gaeltacht (Irish Speaking area) in Ireland. There a a few different Irish language dialects in Ireland this is the one I learned. It‘s a beautiful place. 7d

Cuilin @AnneCecilie Yes, there‘s definitely more to just storytelling in this one. 7d

Suet624 This book is really something. A great book to read during March. Such a brutal history lesson though. 7d

Cuilin @Suet624 Agreed. Brutal is the perfect word. 7d

Bookwormjillk I finally caught up. It‘s still not coming together for me, but I‘m sure it will in the end. 4d
