Small Things Like These (Oprah's Book Club) | Claire Keegan

pick

I never read as much as I think I will on vacation 😅

familiarize yourself with Magdalene Laundries before reading this otherwise you may miss the full emotional weight. I wanted more aftermath, but maybe that was the point. that small mercies fight systems built on shame & kindness doesn‘t always come with closure. ⛪️

Awk_Word_Smith The Bookstagram acct Books Are Sick turned me on the Claire Keegan. I love her novellas. I insist upon reading her in the winter, at night, with a steaming mug of coffee. It feels like the right vibe for her books. ❤️ 3mo

uncommonlycozies @Awk_Word_Smith yesss that‘s how I gobbled this one up! one late night, curled up in a Forest Service rental on a historic ranch property. setting the vibes makes the experience so much better 🤓 3mo

The Famine Plot: England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy | Tim Pat Coogan

pick

Damning account of how the English government suppressed Ireland's economy for centuries, then victim blamed them when the famine happened and mostly refused to help. Lots of quotes from respected English officials expressing anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry and occasionally coming right out and publicly stating the famine was a fortuitous way to bring down the unsustainable population. Good but long and repetitive.

TheBookHippie I have this on my list to read. 5mo

LitStephanie @TheBookHippie I listened to the audio but would have preferred print to be able to skip ahead on repetitive parts. 5mo

Texreader I read another book about this and it just infuriated me!! I‘ll have to stack this one too. 5mo

Killing Thatcher: The IRA, the Manhunt and the Long War on the Crown | Rory Carroll

pick

I‘ve had this book on my wishlist for a while. “Killing Thatcher” is a very exciting, but still impeccable researched political thriller about the very long plot of killing Prime Minister Thatcher, by the IRA. I highly recommend it if you‘ve ever been to Ireland and/or are interested in Irish history.

LiteraryHoarderPenny For some reason the name is changed to There Will Be Fire for the North American version! Took me on a little journey to find it - found it - marked it to read! 😊 8mo

thewallflower0707 @LiteraryHoarderPenny did they think it was too inflammatory or that Americans might not buy it because Thatcher is less well-known over there? 😅 8mo

LiteraryHoarderPenny @thewallflower0707 probably the title! 🤪 7mo
