#Read2025

Finished this weekend for #BookedInTime & #FoodAndLit #Ireland This book is set in 1847 against the backdrop of the Irish famine where a ship of many souls (over 450 with steerage, First Class & crew) sets out from Ireland to New York trying to escape the Great Famine & survive. There are lots of secrets revealed & a murder that take place on the month-long voyage. This was tough to read due to the subject matter & many characters ⬇️

DebinHawaii …to keep track of as well as the sometimes convoluted writing & back & forth in time, but it‘s a good book & well worth the effort.

(I‘ll do a separate #FoodAndLit post with the Irish food I ate.)

Dear Littens,

#BookedInTime and #WhatTheDickens I am struggling to catch up due to some new meds. I had hoped to post questions for both groups this weekend and I think I may have to switch to next weekend as I adjust to the medication. Apologies.

Winter 1847, Star of the Sea is leaving Ireland for a 26 day trip to New York. Some is rich, some is poor, but they all hope for a better life in NYC, and a lot can happen on a trip. We get the backstories for everyone and the ending surprised me.

I still don‘t see the point of the pictures and excerpts throughout, and the way to tell the story felt a little odd at times, but other than that I quite enjoyed this

Texreader Great review. Same feeling about the odd way of writing 4d

Getting my stack of books together for April and it's about a half a cat high. It's way too ambitious given I don't read that many physical books any more. We'll see though. I do have spring break and lighter nights coming up. I'll tag the books in the comments because I also have a bunch of audiobooks and kindle books I want to get to too. Oh and a trip to the library today to pick up some more holds...

Aims42 You have some great reads picked out! And your cat is beautiful, love how helpful those tabby‘s are 😻📏 4d
Bookwormjillk @Aims42 yes she‘s always busy 4d
Aims42 @Bookwormjillk Haha, oh I bet! 4d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Every month I say I'm going to do fewer buddy reads and every month I still over-commit 😂 4d
AnnCrystal 💕📚📏😻🐾💝. 4d
Lcsmcat An excellent unit of measure! (And a sweet tabby!) 4d
Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks right? The me who plans my reading and the me who actually reads are two separate people 4d
Ruthiella 😻😻😻 4d
CatMS I'm finding I'm reading and enjoying more physical books and less on my Kindle. Kindle is for night reading in bed. Of course audiobooks are for my commutes, even on short commutes to the market. 4d

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, that kitty‘s eyes! 💛 (edited) 4d
Sace What a sweet face! I‘m laughing at your comment about there being two yous: the planner and the reader. I have the same problem. 😂 4d
Susanita Cat says: yeah sure you‘re going to read all these books 4d
Bookwormjillk @Susanita She only has faith in me at meal time 3d
