I‘m still behind....very behind in my readings for book clubs/buddy read activities but I will catch up...soon...I guess...I‘m trying😳☺️ I have to because I‘m keeping buying those books🤗

Do you think it will be safe to buy books in bookdepository this month? 🤔

One of those long books that you don‘t feel it long at all because you want to know more about the story, about this family. A good book with a sad story. Difficult social-political times. That ending, trying to go on. The mother, Ma, is a strong female character in this story. 4.5/5⭐️

This month was dedicated to slow pace, character driven with dysfunctional family novels. Most of them by Irish authors which suggest that I like that writing style. I liked this novel. One of the #Women‘s fiction prizelonglist novels. This is about Cushla and her forbidden relationship with Michael Agnew a barrister. About how much harm religious prejudices can make and how dangerous can be to defend the injustice. ⬇️

Gissy Sad but with a transcendence ending. What the judges will evaluate? Interesting to see the short list. 4⭐️

First time I heard this expression of “snowflake”. Debbie is in the process to start college in Dublin and she comes from a farm village. She travels every day because can‘t afford to stay in the city “commute girl” that‘s how they call her. This is about her process to adapt to this new life, to discover herself and understand better her family. There are some triggers in this novel, family mental illness, bipolar disorder, depression⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) suicide attempts, alcoholism. There are some sad parts here. But there is hope at the end. Debbie has so many personal situations maybe because that‘s how she learned to cope.

It is a slow character driven novel. I love the audiobook with the Irish accent, Interesting to see these differences between the life in the city and in the country. There are so many beautiful phrases and expressions. 4/4.5⭐️

Second book in this trilogy. A little bit slow but again, it has absurd unrealistic funny situations. Ready for book 3 next month. Finlay and Vero are a peculiar dynamic amateur sleuth duo☺️Again, I laughed out loud with this one.

I think most of you know the premise of this story. Finlay is talking with her editor about her novel and someone heard words like contract, kill him, payment, and thought they were talking about a hitperson and now wants to hire Finlay. This is an absurd, unrealistic contemporary adult cozy mystery for me. So funny. I was laughing on all the time. It was good after all my busy month and after serious books. This is for laugh. Don‘t expect more ⬇️

mabell It does sound fun! 12mo
