so-soThe romantic plot was a bit eye-rolling and obvious, and the supporting characters felt one-dimensional, but I loved the Irish village setting and the magical realism element. This was my #ReadOrDonate pick for March. Definitely donating it.

Each book in this trilogy is about a different Gallagher sibling. The 3 of them own a pub in Ireland and they are all very musically inclined 🎶💚🥰

pickA nice reread to help me out of this little slump, and my current crochet project.
Jude leaves her unsatisfying life in Chicago for a sojourn in Ireland. She finds romance, of course, but also finds her strength, her wit, and her passion.
I‘m having a reread to shake off my “don‘t wanna‘s”. Also, I made a scurry of gingerbread squirrels today, ostensibly to tie in to kiddo‘s medieval history studies but really because I wanted to. And I only have a few cookie cutters, and this one was cute.
so-soI will not be finishing this trilogy after reading the first book, Jewels of the Sun. This book was fine but I did not connect with either Jude or Aidan. Romances, especially historical romances, used to be my guilty pleasure and I‘m hoping to get back in the genre but it won‘t be with this series and I‘m ok with that. 2.5/5 stars.
pickI don‘t read much romance, but I‘m a sucker for a sexy Irishman or a Scot (😍OUTLANDER😍). Got any Irish/Scottish romance recs for a newbie?
I know Nora Roberts is not everyone‘s cup of tea, but I love her so this quote is one of my favorites. 😍📖😋
Got some book mail today!! One was an ARC from Penguin Random House and the other was a book that I got from Book Mooch (anyone use that website?). Tagged book is the trade and the ARC is From the Corner of the Oval by Beck Dorey-Stein.

1) there are two Jude Murray (because she‘s an academic psychologist and Nora Roberts writes a realistic story with real life problems which is one reason I really like her or Maggie Concannon because of her artistic abilities (from Born in Fire also Nora Roberts)
2) I have short/long-term memory loss... 😝
3) the Despicable Me and Minion movies 😝🤣
4) @merelybookish @ErinGoBragh1011 @readinginthedark and @SaturnDoo have fun with this one 😋
so-soI just finished reading Jewels of the sun. I really enjoyed it! The only problem was I had the main character I was mad at for a few chapters. She grew as a person alot by the end. #library #litsy #booklover #kindle #kindlefire #paperwhite #library #litsy
pickI'm really motivated by winning books and completely terrible at remembering daily prompts. Here is my under the wire #beastsgiveawaychallenge - Mother Nature. I fell in love with these books not only because of the Irish mysticism but also because of the vivid descriptions of the Irish countryside.
Some of my favorite Nora Roberts book are set in Ireland 💚🇮🇪💚 Nora Roberts is my go to for romance. 📚 Who is your go to author for romance?
so-soThis was my first Nora Roberts. It was perfect for me at the time. It has a slow burn romance, a gorgeous setting, and a touch of fantasy. While some parts were overly saccharine, the setting of Ardmore, Ireland stole my heart. Can I please spend the day at Gallagher's pub?
pickI think this was my first Nora. It made me want more! ☀️
