Enjoying a little trip to rural Ireland😶🌫️
pickI‘ve never read Claire Keegan before, but I‘ve heard she‘s one of the best. This did not disappoint. The book has two timelines, one following a man on a seemingly ordinary day, and the other recounting his past relationship. There is a lot of discourse at the moment of relationships and what is expected of men and women in their ‘roles‘ and this book perfectly encapsulates all of it! A very simple and yet effective gut punch right at the issue.

I am 37 (and have been for several years now) and Saturday was my 37th birthday (again). Imagine my confusion when all my cards, balloons, banners etc had the number 50 on!!! I didn't point out people's mistake as I didn't want to cause a fuss, but really!!! 50! Me! How rude! 😉
Birthday books! I have to wait a while for my new Kindle as I desperately wanted the pink one & it's out of stock. But I can wait because apparently I'm a grown-up now 😂
pick“The Dos and Donuts of Love” is oh so sweet on representation. The Fluffy Bengali and her ex-Twainese girlfriend on opposite sides of the donut shop wars yet further conflict results when they become competitors on the Junior Irish Baking Show. There is rivalry, out-of-control egos, there is sabotage. There are pastries enough to make you very, very hungry!
Enjoy the Irish accents, enjoy the “Drive Me Glazy” donuts! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
pickI just bought this at my local Barnes & Noble. Looking forward to reading it!!
pickAhhh this was so good! A sweet, short tale of a man working hard to take care of his family and trying to pay it forward when others want him to look the other way. I know they‘ve made a movie based on this and now I really want to watch it! Might be my favorite of the month so far! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So far all fit my ebook or free slot except Sister Snake which was audio.
Tagged will get me first bingo of the year but I don't want to finish it 😅 It's one of those standalone books that is SO GOOD!! I don't want to leave the story/characters. Ive been prolonging the inevitable.
pickThemes: Historical Fiction, Dual Timelines & Multiple POVs, Magical Realism
This book made me laugh, made me tear up, made me angry, but I loved it! Usually with mutilple POVs there‘s always “that” character that I dread when their name is on the chapter heading, but I loved Opaline (even though I kept wanted to call her Ovaltine), Martha and Henry. And Madame Bowden too! A solid pick to read if you want something truly magical!
