This sign sums up my difficulties with this account - too often I just sits and does nothing...
In other words, too much thinking, not enough action.
I've read lots of #books but haven't posted about any of them.

A stack of six New Island books sits on a wooden table in front of a softly blurred window view of houses and trees. The colourful spines are visible, including All the Old Clocks by R. P. O’Donnell, To Walk the Way: One Pilgrim’s Camino by Mike Timms, An Asylum for My Affections edited by Molly Hennigan, Home Economics by Caitríona Lally, Essential Irish by Garry Bannister, and Stop Your Shenanigans by Micheál Ó Conghaile. The New Island bicycle logo appears beneath the stack.

Okay, BookSky…

I’m looking for Irish crime fiction or historical fiction recommendations.

The above are my favourite genres and I would like to expand my list of Irish authors. Let me know your favourites! 🇮🇪

Earlier today, I finished Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. My thoughts? A very good read telling the challenges/successes of being an immigrant to a new country. Eilis Lacey reminds me so much of my own late Granny - only Granny never got to go to America. 💚
