A Bit on the Side | William Trevor

I feel too much I think. I'm easily shamed; easily hurt. So I go nuclear quickly in confrontations. I do know better. I'm learning not to resist; to let it go. William Trevor is my soundtrack. He sees the things that move me. He sounds like my own thoughts. Although his plots can be unnerving, his understanding of his characters is comforting. There won't be a happy ending, but there will be an ending. And I will understand.

Trashcanman Which of his works would you recommend a person to start with? Always here if you need or want to talk. 3d
mobill76 If you like George Eliot; if you like D.H. Lawrence; then I think you'll get Trevor immediately. I started with "Lucy Gault". It destroyed me. His short stories are good, too, but I like the heartbreaking payoff of a larger investment. Thank you, TCM. 3d

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 ! 🤗

Happy St Paddy's Day! ☘️☘️☘️

I started my day with a couple stories from the tagged while drinking tea my parents brought back from their last trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 before jumping into the kitchen to bake soda bread to go with tonight's dinner. Next, on to Dublin Coddle while the music plays! If you're looking for a playlist today, I love this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GpyyMiGai1OHwfmkSEG6c?si=P7_wQtDjQ_mvsSdrPqua...

Got up early to make Irish breakfast tea and scones from the tagged cookbook. So good, but with 3 sticks of butter most of these will be going in the freezer to be eaten slowly. #FoodAndLit #Ireland

Another book read for #FoodandLit Ireland. This was an audiobook, told in the first person almost Luke a bibliography by a 10 year old.It was funny, and boy, could I relate to this era of growing up with no video games and being free to play outside.A little bit crude.Then it took a little turn, and it also made me cry.If you listen to this book, you have to make sure to remember the decade it was.I totally got it as it was my decade to grow up in

This is a hilarious but informative take on all things Irish, both the Republic (south) and Northern Ireland. A few sections require some knowledge about Ireland so I didn‘t understand them but they were quite short. In fact, the book is very short, less than 100 pages. I can‘t believe I haven‘t found this series before! I love it! #Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
