Lonely Planet Ireland's Best Trips | Lonely Planet

I‘m going to be in Ireland at the beginning of May (Dublin, Cork, and Galway) and while I‘m doing a tour, I‘ll also have free time and would love suggestions of what to do/see!

#ireland #travel

Meshell1313 Ah- maz- ing! Dingle is a must see!!! And the cliffs of mohr! 7d

julesG @Cathythoughts do you have suggestions? 7d

Cathythoughts @julesG I do ! I got very excited there for a minute , I thought you were coming to Cork yourself , Julia. ❤️ So , I‘d recommend The English Market in Cork city. Blarney Castle, and kiss the Blarney Stone. The Corner House Pub on Coburg Street for a traditional session. Fitzgerald‘s Park for a Spring walk. Kinsale and Prims Bookshop. West Cork is lovely if you are traveling around a bit. Baltimore is one of our favourite spots. 👍🏻❤️ 7d

quietlycuriouskate How about the Chester Beatty library in Dublin? I could happily have spent days with all those magnificent manuscripts! ❤️ 7d

Kristy_K @Meshell1313 thank you! Cliffs of Mohr is on my list but I haven‘t heard of Dingle. I‘ll look it up! 7d

Kristy_K @julesG thanks! @Cathythoughts Thank you! I have the English Market bookmarked and the Blarney Castle and Stone, but the rest of these I haven‘t heard of yet. Definitely going to go to the bookstore and park! 7d

Kristy_K @quietlycuriouskate Great suggestion, thank you! I‘ll add it to my list. I love how literary Dublin is. 7d

Ireland: History of a Nation | David Ross, Judy Hamilton

There‘s a good chance husband and I will travel to England (to see family) and Ireland for a wee vacation before taking our daughter to study in Dublin. So of course I have to start reading all things Irish! So I‘m jumping in to a rather academic history.

Gissy How nice! 🤗 1mo

kwmg40 How exciting! Good luck to your daughter. 1mo

The Princes of Ireland: The Dublin Saga | Edward Rutherfurd

@Cuilin #bookedintime

I did it! This was a chunkster. Physical and audio helped me get through it. There are so many characters! It spans from 430 AD to 1500ish. I thought it gave a good look at pre Christian Ireland and the move towards Christianity, from tribal life and politics to the Crown. He did an excellent job keeping the characters individualized and I didn't have any trouble following along. I loved how women were represented 👇

ChaoticMissAdventures Throughout. They were strong, capable, and smart. There are a few scenes where the women really showed up that will stick with me for awhile (flashing a monk who decided to join the monastery instead of marrying you? Good for you Kayla!). I probably will not read the 2nd one but this was very good. I also liked how religion was spoken of. My only negative is I didn't always get as much of/closure on some characters as I would have liked. 1mo

Cuilin Congratulations 🎉🫶🇮🇪☘️seriously impressed. (edited) 1mo

Ruthiella Well done! 👏👏👏 1mo

marleed I read this last March - I was so proud of myself for finally getting to it - and then I really liked it! 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @marleed I was surprised how much I liked it! And it was really not difficult to read, even with the intimidating size. 1mo

The Princes of Ireland: The Dublin Saga | Edward Rutherfurd

#weeklyforecast I have the tagged on audio for #BookedInTime made a huge dent in it yesterday while doing chores around the house, and am really enjoying it. Once I finish it I have A Day In The Life of Abed Salama.
Picking away at the Women's Prize, started The Maiden and so far I am liking it more than I thought I would.

monalyisha I like your decor! Great curtains & chair (& cat 😸). 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha @brittanyreads thank you!! I love these curtains, they were my big splurge from Anthropology when I bought the house. I need color to get me through the long Oregon grey days. 1mo

Sisters of Belfast: A Novel | Melanie Maure

What a fantastic debut novel. This author is definitely one to watch for.

This book takes you into the lives of Irish Nuns and an orphanage. Also into the lives of twins Aelish and Isabel McGuire. What happens to them after they lost their home and their parents.

Off the Map | Trish Doller

I didn‘t appreciate this the way that I should have; I didn‘t know I wasn‘t in the mood to be reading a romance until I was already committed. I also didn‘t know (or didn‘t remember learning) that it was part of a series with recurring characters. It could and did stand on its own but I think my enjoyment would‘ve been enhanced had I read the other books first. 👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: That being said, how could I not enjoy an emotionally rich love story set in the Irish countryside that includes a belligerent bull accidentally drunk on sangria? TW: abandonment, dementia, grief, loss. 2mo

Sisters of Belfast: A Novel | Melanie Maure

A MUST READ!!

A bombing that killed their parents in 1941 in Dublin put twins Isabel and Aelish in an orphanage run by nuns.

Isabel was rebellious and Aelish was compliant.

Isabel escapes, but Aelish remains and becomes a nun.

A heartbreaking, heartfelt, beautiful book.

♥️ You will LOVE the characters and miss them when you turn the last page. ♥️
