Welcome to Litsy!

January 2025 Book#6
I think the opening of this story was amazing but then it was like forgotten, not well connected with the rest of the story. I liked the characters and the mystery/horror that was hidden in these mountains that seem possessed Nick. But then, the story was dragged to explain all this possession which concluded with an ambiguous open ending. I think the idea was terrific but maybe needed some editing? 3⭐️

Read these to Jace just in time for #foodandlit and St. Patrick‘s Day. The tagged book was really funny, and the one about St. Patrick himself was very informative for a children‘s book. Thanks for the recommendations @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

Last Sunday, I made boxty using this recipe: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/mar/11/how-to-cook-the-perfect-boxty-recip... and seafood coddle, based on various online sources. Very nice. And I have leftover buttermilk, which I should use to make scones. I doubt they'll be as nice as the ones I had in Ireland, but I'll try.

4.5/5 ⭐️ Loved this romance set at an Irish Pub. Excellent ADHD and OCD rep too.

I made Irish soda bread and shepherd's pie for St. Patrick's Day. Delicious and comforting! 🇮🇪🍀

Interesting fact about Belfast. #foodandlit #Ireland @Catsandbooks

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 ⬇️

A little Texas-Irish interesting fact. #foodandlit #Ireland @Catsandbooks
