#Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

This is an EXCELLENT book, very fun reading.

GingerAntics It depends on what part of Ireland you‘re in. There are parts of the country (small parts, sadly) that are called a Gaeltacht, where the predominant language spoken in the home is Irish instead of English. 22h
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics even while only in a small way, that's still wonderful 😉💝. 19h
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal it really is. Another fun fact about keeping the Irish language alive. The places with the most Irish language learners are The US, Canada, and Australia. The diaspora have taken up what was taken from our ancestors and will hopefully keep it alive. 19h

AnnCrystal @GingerAntics Truly? That is fascinating! The few times I've heard the Gaeilge language were thanks to TV & movies...don't know how accurate these samples were, but it was truly beautiful.

I want to learn my ancestor's language. A bit difficult, we don't live near the Tohono O'odham Nation, nor the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. I have done a little online research and have learned a handful of words in Oʼodham. The name of my Ancestor's Creator, and “mom.“

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal there is something so fulfilling to even learning those few words. I know a little bit of Irish, like a very tiny bit. The bits I do know feel so wonderful. Especially when a conquerer has come and taken that language away, it feels so powerful, revolutionary, and rebellious to actually learn every word you can. 10h
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics that is a powerful way to feel about our stolen languages. And it is true with every word learned ☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 9h

Pickpick

A rich Brit hires Leo, an unlikely detective who started a website when his girlfriend went missing, to find his long lost daughter. She‘s drawn some money from her trust while in Kathmandu, so that‘s where Leo goes first. The first half of this book is well written and plotted. It goes to heck when the typos start and keep coming, and the writing deteriorates. On the one hand, the descriptions of #Nepal are excellent—the author is well- ⬇️

Texreader traveled and it shows. On the other hand, the daughter‘s charitable work is just dropped as if it were the least important part of her life—which makes no sense to the storyline, and the same is true for the dropped storyline about Leo‘s missing girlfriend. It‘s like the author plane forgot what he was writing about. For a strong start and a lackluster ending, this is barely a pick. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks #letterK #litsyatoz (edited) 2d
