Welcome to Litsy!

Finally finished this book. Been on my shelf for ages #OffTheShelf2023 This was an OK read, but quite frankly I‘m getting a bit tired of these English young men writing about how much they drink, and trying to make every second sentence funny. We get it, but sometimes less is more. Otherwise entertaining to read about friendly Irish people eager to meet the Fridge Man. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Something lighter for a change 😊 #Offtheshelf2023 Been on my shelf for ages…

A library display for Irish American Heritage Month and St. Patrick's Day! Wish I had room for more goodies there. #librarydisplays #displays #Ireland

1. Tagged!

2. Phileas Fogg or Ford Prefect

3. Tough question. I think space edges out time by a bit, so space.

#3books that made me want to travel

Every book makes me want to travel in some form.

I read Round Ireland in the late 90s & it made me want to visit this amazing little island. And when I did (albeit without hitchhiking or a fridge), it was just as awesome as described.

While I did not like Eat Pray Love, it did give me wanderlust to visit all these places.

HHGTTG because I‘d love to intergalactically hitchhike around the cosmos.

These #3Books made me laugh SO HARD. 🤣

I presume there is a readathon this weekend. #24b4Monday? These are the books I‘ve chosen. Books I‘ve been meaning for awhile. Also going to bake something good. Need to escape reality!

One of my favorites!

I‘ve had this book on my shelf for years. My mom loved it and I told her I‘d read it. It was a quick read and that was nice, for how challenging reading has been lately. Ultimately, though, while Tony is grateful for the help he gets, he is stuck on superficialities. He evokes the character of the people he meets and the land less readily than people‘s attractiveness.
This book completes Winter of #Booked2019

Spring Reading.

Found these treasures at a book fair for 0,50-1€/each. Obviously had to buy them 😺

I thought this was a light humerous book about a man who makes a drunken bet to hitch hike around Ireland with a mini fridge. This book was published in the late 90s when it was still feasible to hitch hike. It seems a lot harder in the age before social media and that's what gives the book its charm.

Almost forgot about #uncannyoctober tonight! I think this counts as nonfiction...it's been sitting on my shelf for ages, but definitely about a country I want to visit! I went to Ireland senior year of high school and would love to return someday ☘️#nfaboutacountryyoudliketovisit

#StrangeTitles

This book has a strange title. That's what made me buy it all those years ago. I still haven't read it and I can't find it, I think I gave it to a friend.

Kinda sad I only took photos of two of the bookshops in Kinsale, but in my defence I was distracted by all the beautiful books. Also the collie who lives in one of the bookshops with his guitar playing owner- I've never met a cooler person.

If you're ever in the south of Ireland you HAVE to go to the beautiful town of Kinsale. It's adorable and has SO Many books shops!! Even the cafe is called the Poet's Corner and provides a book swapping service 😍 I think I've found my dream home...

It may have been a grey rainy day in London but nothing stops the Irish on St Patrick's ☘️🍀☘️🍀 such an awesome parade and festival- proud of my Irish roots 💚☘️🍀

On a bet, a British comedian hitchikes around Ireland with a fridge in tow. Hilarious.

Unfortunately, there isn't much more hilarity once you get past the title. There's an amusing encounter with Prince Charles in a rope line, and the book did really crack me up about a dozen other times. But a dozen laughs from an otherwise deeply unfunny 250-page book qualifies as a bomb.

My advice: smile at the story embedded in the title and skip the book.

Just started listening to this hilarious memoir on audio today - the title says it all.

This is a funny, fast-paced story about a pointless endeavor. Good fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This guy cracks me up. 😃

Only one chapter in and this book is already making me giggle. 😂

Acquisitions this week... 😳 I don't know when I will read these, but B&N keep having sales and sending me coupons. What was I supposed to do?!
