Smile | Roddy Doyle

I never really came near to be being successful, although in Ireland you can get along for a long time before the truth starts to matter.

I enjoyed this collection of pandemic stories, even though---like the days during lockdown---the stories tend to blend into one another. In these stories, Doyle explores with sensitivity issues of connection, estrangement, vulnerability, mental illness, substance abuse, and grief. I know a lot of people still don't like revisiting that time, but I find it intriguing and therapeutic to look back at those years that have influenced so much.

Unfortunately, I‘m already back from #Ireland 🇮🇪☘️but I had such a wonderful time & got really lucky with the weather too! These are all my purchases. I really recommend the EPIC Museum on Irish Emigration & Trinity College Tour. The bus trip to the Cliffs of Moher & Gallway was fantastic too. I loved all the Irish fiction sections in the many indy bookstores. I‘ll be back!

Cuilin I love hearing of people‘s trips to Ireland. Every time I go home it‘s always raining so I‘m always amazed that people say they had great weather. What‘s with that? 😆 Glad you had a good time. 2mo

Fantastic! May be my favorite of her so far. I‘m not even really a fan of police procedurals but French does it better than anyone! #BookspinBingo #AAM #authoramonth @TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville #chunkster

So far, of all five bookstores I‘ve visited in #Dublin, this one is my favourite! It has a lovely interior, a great Irish selection and great lighting. I got #Kala and #CommonDecency. Afterwards, I went to St. Paul‘s Cathedral and explored the neighborhood around Temple Bar.

The #LongRoom at Trinity College. Right now, most of the books except for the first four shelves have been removed. They are closing it down in January to renovate, which is expected to last 10-15 years. So I visited at the right time! They also exhibit the Book of Kells, which is estimated to be 1200 years old.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Wow! 10-15 years is a long time. I'm glad you got to see it when you did. 2mo

Next stop: the small bookstore called The Winding Stair! It‘s very small, but has a lot of character.
