ImperfectCJ
Wild Houses: A Novel | Colin Barrett
post image

For an upcoming week-long trip, I'm limiting myself to one physical book plus my Kobo. These two are the current front-runners---Wild Houses and Horror Movie.

Which should I bring? Or should I bring something else entirely?

Other options:

Darkly by Marisha Pessl
Baby X by Kira Peikoff
The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones
Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood

Pogue I like goats so I say go with Wild Houses. Even though I know nothing about it. 1d
ImperfectCJ @Pogue As good a reason as any. And one of the places we're staying has goats, so perhaps it would be apt. 1d
BarbaraBB I liked Wild Houses and would definitely choose 23h
ImperfectCJ @BarbaraBB I've heard great things about that one! I'm easily distracted while traveling...is it likely to keep my attention? 15h
BarbaraBB Yes I think so! 14h

#walterscottprize I could see, smell, and feel the setting of the historic fiction love story. It is a brutal love tale set in an unforgiving land written in lyrical poetry. A big thumbs up. 4 🌟

Happy St Paddy's Day! ☘️☘️☘️

I started my day with a couple stories from the tagged while drinking tea my parents brought back from their last trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 before jumping into the kitchen to bake soda bread to go with tonight's dinner. Next, on to Dublin Coddle while the music plays! If you're looking for a playlist today, I love this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GpyyMiGai1OHwfmkSEG6c?si=P7_wQtDjQ_mvsSdrPqua...

A beautifully told story abt a young Catholic man living with his father in a loyalist community at the height of the troubles. Haunted by his part in the killing of a local police man he tries to get out of more ira activity. When he meets the widow of the victim, a love affair seems inevitable but doomed. A brilliant book that I couldn't put down + was immersed in brilliant writing. I saw the film in the 80s so will be interested to watch again

Texreader Looks like a good book for #Ireland #foodandlit this month @Catsandbooks 4w

lil1inblue @Mollyanna I think it's just fantastic. My uncle took it. I think he's got an excellent knack for photography, but he always downplays it. 2mo
