Maeve's Times: In Her Own Words | Maeve Binchy

pick

Happy March!! This was wonderful collection of some of Maeve Binchy‘s articles submitted to the Irish Times from the 1960s through the 2000‘s. She was so well-travelled and I loved reading that. I loved her thoughts on Margaret Thatcher and on the Royal family. She attended three royal weddings! It was fun to read her thoughts on what is now old news. What a treasure she was!

Suet624 Oooh, sounds interesting. 3y

marleed @Suet624 I was somehow comforted by this book. It‘s such a great way to honor Maeve, but honestly reading articles that were current at the time written was just what I needed right now. 3y

Suet624 Yea, I understand. 3y

robinb @LeahBergen @CarolynM Update: I decided to go with Firefly Summer although at 653 pages I might regret it. 😳😳🤪🤣 4y

CarolynM As I recall it's an easy read with plenty of happenings to keep you interested. Hope you enjoy it🙂 4y

robinb @CarolynM thanks. I‘ve read one or two of hers (it‘s been so long I can‘t remember their titles 🤪), but I know I enjoyed her writing. 4y

Andrew65 @EadieB I don‘t think I own any of the short story ones, will need to rely on the library. @ljuliel 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 ok we will wait and see what you can get from the library. 5y

Andrew65 @MidnightBookGirl We have been reading one a month since August 2018 and have loved every minute of them. #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead In November we are reading

Heart and Soul

ljuliel @Andrew65 @EadieB Did you guys read this one ? I just checked it out today and didn‘t see a question area when I look up the book title. Someone else read it ( sorry, I don‘t remember who ) , but I didn‘t see anyone from your questionnaire group. I think it‘s Christmas related stories.

This Year It Will Be Different

(edited) 5y

Andrew65 @ljuliel No we haven‘t read this one as a buddy read, so far only read the novels. 5y

ljuliel Ok, I never scrolled back though the hundreds of posts to see if it was in your hashtag thing. I guess I‘ll give it a try , but won‘t need to look for the questions. I think it‘s several short stories. Thanks. 5y
