Delighted you're joining in with The Irish Readathon! You have some great books on your list. I really enjoy Graham Norton's books and Almost Love is one of my favourite books EVER 💖 Don't Touch My Hair is also brilliant
Oh wow, that's an amazing endorsement!!
Happy reading this month! And good on you for reading from your tbr exclusively 🙌🏾 small things like these is a solid read. And don’t touch my hair is phenomenal and so well researched and written! Enjoy it x I have trespasses waiting for me on my tbr as well. Happy reading 🎉
I'm glad you've enjoyed all of those books 😊 I'm loving reading my tbr backlist books! Hope you have a great month x
Enjoy your March reading, I have a Cecelia Ahern for the Irish Readathon. Angela's Ashes was a very memorable read.
I've read quite a few of her books over the years. Glad to hear that about Angela's ashes.
I’ve got Almost love on my shelf I’ve read Asking for it and after the silence which were really good. Also have Idol on my shelf. The hand that first held mine was so emotional 😭❤️📚 The five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Five was 100% a 5 star read, it was amazing!!
So far for Irish books I've deviated and am reading The Wren, The Wren by Anne Enright, but hope to get to others as well. March is such a busy month!
Great library there. Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope they bring you much joy.
Thank you so much 😊
Yes yes yes The Descendants!!❤❤ So good! It made me cry while I was in Hawaii! 😭 Let me know how it goes! ❤ xx
Oh I didn't know you were in hawaii too! Ahh and it made you cry! Can't wait to read it xx
Great TBR as always. I hope you love Trespasses if you get to it. It is definitely more character lead than plot (apart from the last 50 pages) so bare that in mind 😉
Hope you have a good reading time in March ❤
Thank you my lovely. I remember how much you loved Trespasses. That's fine by me - Milkman was my fave book of the year a couple of years ago 😊
Sounds like you’ll have a great reading month! I’m currently reading A River Enchanted, which will likely be the first book I finish in March.
Just looked that one up as I'd not heard of it - hope you're enjoying it 😊
I hope March is a fabulous reading month for you!
Thanks Doris, and for you!
Graham Norton is a favorite author of mine. Once I start his books, I can't put them down.
I am lightly participating in Irish readathon. I have The Rachel Incident on audio ready to go.
I am also participating in Middle Grade March, so that will be taking up most of my reading time.
I will be interested to see what you finally read in your wrap up!
Oh I have the Rachel incident on my wishlist! A month of Irish and middle grade sounds so lovely 😊
Ha, your TBR does sound a bit crazy at first, but I figure you'll manage the six! Like the sound of the John Boyne book, and Trespasses is on my TBR 😊 Did you read Intimacies in the end? I've nearly finished it, and just thought of it now because it's another Irish book. I wasn't sure which book we were reading for April for book club, but now I know - thank you 💛
Intimacies!! Whoops I forgot that one, I'll add it to my pile of possibilities.
Yes it's crossing to safety first, then tattooist. As far as I know!
Happy to pass the John boyne on x
Angela’s Ashes is AMAZING. Some very funny snaps throughout a grey backdrop. I’m sure tears of laughter in parts. Almost Love sounds hardcore and ummmmm. Graham Norton - orange covered one? Let me know how you get on with this one. John Boyne one looks interesting. Where the Blarney Stone is Joyce!!! Get Dubliners down your thrapple. Pack vodka. The Van - another hilarious classic. X
Thank you for the recommendations!! Right I'm prioritising Angela's Ashes then, it's one of the oldest I've got on my tbr in terms of when I bought them 🥰 xx
My family book club is meeting on St. Patrick’s Day so we’re reading The Searcher by Tana French.
Oh I always wanted to read Crossing to Safety too! Just got it on my kindle from the library. It was fun reading Q last month because we could chat about it without the stress of a buddy read. Maybe I’ll get to it, maybe I won’t, no pressure which makes it the dream! 😂
Oh I the Ancestors out from the library but then returned it because I had way too many out.
I’m so scared of The Fourth Wing!!!
Oh I adore your vlogs! Can’t wait! 🎉❤
Why are you scared of fourth wing?!
Thank you re vlogs 💛
Yes I enjoyed our discussions with Q and with Maps Of Our Spectacular Bodies too 😘
@@YourTrueShelf Haha because it's fantasy and fantasy is hard for me PLUS it's SO hyped which makes me scared it won't live up to the expectations I have for it. Overhyped books frighten me!
@@RovingReader it's not a fantasy fantasy 😊 it's more of a romance with the addition of dragons! But I totally get what you mean about hyped books.
Hi Sarah, Hope you get to Small Things Like These snd Hoding (Grahm Norton. Recently, I've discovered Discworld by Terry Pratchet. I'm loving his MG/yA series. In March, I'll be reading Aggie Morton #3 for March Mystery Madness /Midgle Grade March. The Scent of Water, my second Elizabeth Goudge, and will be starting , The Sunflower Street series (sweet UK Chick lit).
Middle grade march!!! How could I forget 🙈
So great you've found some series that you're into.
I really enjoyed the one John Boyle I’ve read…”The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter.” What a beautiful story that was. I’ve been meaning to get to, “Don’t Touch My Hair”! I really, really enjoyed, “Trespasses” last year. 😊. Oh my gosh…I JUST mentioned Crossing To Safety in the video I filmed today. I was really enjoying this gentle story of the 4 characters…I just wasn’t in the mood…weird month. I agree…it’ll be a good book club book!
The hearts invisible furies?
Oh that's so funny about crossing to safety!! I hope we all enjoy it. I think we all get the wrong book/ time thing happen to us. Good for you for putting it down 💛
@@YourTrueShelf , Thank you! I always get those two titles confused!
My love of Claire Keegan is well documented, highly recommend. If you enjoy that Absolutist book and want to read more about COs in WWI, Adam Hochschild
wrote a great book called To End All Wars. I'm really interested to hear how your GoodReads experiment goes, as I often find the books that existed before GoodReads and are not products of viral online marketing are much lower rated, and I kinda distrust anything rated too highly.
That's such a good point. I think Booktok has a lot to answer for in this scenario and yes, that explains a lot about older books and lower ratings.
Thanks, I'm making a note of To End All Wars 👍🏻
Sure Claire Keegan will be easy to add to the tbr due to its length.
@@YourTrueShelf Forth Wing is particularly interesting to me as someone who works in marketing. This author who wrote what look like pretty trashy romances all of a sudden becomes a massively viral fantasy author, it's genius marketing. I kinda want to read it too.
@@AaronReadABook yeh I had no idea she's written so many books!! I know you like more traditional fantasy - this is more like the hunger games in style, but with more promise of romance. I want to stay up reading it, it's very gripping. It's obviously not beautiful literature, but it's nice to just have a fun read. Plus I love the dragons!!
There is some problem in your channel, I can Opinion you?
I loved Don't Touch my Hair! So good!! Siân (john boyne is a terf tho 💩)
😊😊 I will research about JB x
