AnneCecilie Cary. I‘m about to start the book by Tiller. The Women‘s Prize for Nonfiction Shortlist is announced on Wednesday so my read after the Tiller book might be inspired by that or by the fiction shortlist that is announced on April 2. 5d

Star of the Sea | Joseph O'Connor

pick

This is the story about a miserable excuse of a man and the man he‘s been coerced to murder, an Englishman who lived in #Ireland, during their escape aboard ship to NYC from the famine. But a lot of folks have reasons to commit the murder, and does he really “deserve” to die? There are a lot of side stories that all tie back to these two characters. I wasn‘t terribly keen on the writer‘s style but it was a good, interesting read. #bookedintime ⬇️

The Star Of The Sea | Joseph O'Connor

What happens when Ireland meets a Hawaii institution. Thought I‘d share my lunch & dinner for St. Patrick‘s Day. I didn‘t feel like cooking this weekend but wanted corned beef & cabbage. The closest easiest thing was to run to Zippy‘s (think Hawaii Denny‘s) for their special today. No potatoes, it‘s served plate-lunch style with 2 scoops rice & mac salad! 😂 And of course I had to add-on the drink lilikoi punch & Napple special (apple turnover).⬇️

Cuilin, Texreader, Catsandbooks

DebinHawaii … & their other special “Pot of Gold Soup” (there‘s the potatoes!) 😉 While not traditional it was/is delicious. Eating half for lunch & other half for dinner & the Napple for tomorrow‘s breakfast.

I‘ve only just started this book for #FoodandLit #Ireland & #BookedInTime but I hope to read more tonight after work. ☘️ 💚🍀 1w

Forecast: What Physics, Meteorology and the Natural Sciences Can Teach Us about Economics | Mark Buchanan

Will be focusing more on King once I finish Murder on the Links for #ChristieCapers. Starting Star of the Seafor #BookedinTime, hoping the audio is good. Meet Cute Diary is for #TransRightsReadathon. That and my buddy reads will take up my reading time.

#WeeklyForecast

Amiable I‘m reading the King book right now —in hardcover! So it‘s taking me a while because I‘m not carting it around. 😖😄 6d

kspenmoll @Andrew65 Up until Buried Angels I was listening to audiobooks in the series so it was different to read without the audio voices but I think@the next in the series is also only in book form. I am loving this series- don‘t want it to end! 1w

kspenmoll @tpixie We started the Alchemist last week; we started Night today(Monday) both after exploring lots of background information. ( grade9,10) 1w

Vansa I'm not doing this read-along, but I have read this book, and I found it devastating. I loved how the writer balances personal experience along showing you the wider socio-economic reasons for the Famine in Ireland. 2w

Cuilin @Vansa perfect description. 2w

kspenmoll I could not put this book down. So i kept on reading… felt so up close & personal. One of my great greats on my dad side cane over as a 12 year old during that time. There used to be an exhibit at Quinnipiac College in CT on the famine but it lost his home there & has not landed anywhere else. My son saw the exhibit-I did not unfortunately. 2w

Cuilin @kspenmoll oh my gosh, I think of that 12-year-old as a boy making the voyage and then having to sit on a ship because of quarantine rules to then finally make it and now you‘re here able to tell the tale. Amazing! Do you know where in Ireland? 2w

kspenmoll @Cuilin Dunquin,County Kerry. My dad‘s mom side, O‘Dalaigh, eventually becoming Daly here. Two sibs survived & died in 1870 in Dunquin, 3 are not accounted for so presumed died during famine. 2w

kspenmoll Some of my other relatives came over through Montreal- in early 1870. I don‘t know when they arrived in Canada, whether it was during the famine or not. My Abbott grandfather was born in Newfoundland, & my brother found family graves from mid 1800s. (edited) 2w

AnneCecilie I like it and I‘m keeping to the schedule, but sometimes the way it‘s told takes me out of the story. And I haven‘t quite figured out the point of the extracts from the letters throughout (edited) 2w

Cuilin @kspenmoll so beautiful you have so much of your history. Dún Chaoin, is in the Gaeltacht (Irish Speaking area) in Ireland. There a a few different Irish language dialects in Ireland this is the one I learned. It‘s a beautiful place. 2w

Cuilin @AnneCecilie Yes, there‘s definitely more to just storytelling in this one. 2w

Suet624 This book is really something. A great book to read during March. Such a brutal history lesson though. 2w

Cuilin @Suet624 Agreed. Brutal is the perfect word. 2w

Bookwormjillk I finally caught up. It‘s still not coming together for me, but I‘m sure it will in the end. 1w
