pickThemes: Family (especially sisters!), Ireland and NYC during 1950s to 2000‘s, Great storytelling!
I was hooked from page 1 of this beautifully written book 🥰 Mary Beth Keane has a gift for amazing storytelling and scenery setting; you‘ll shiver from the rain she describes and feel yourself warm up with her descriptions of drinking tea beside a roaring fire. A definite pick!!!
Why yes, I did “treat myself” to some tea after I cleaned up the kitchen post-dinner 😆👵🏼 Settling in for some ‘Finding Your Roots‘ with a little book reading on this crazy Tuesday night 😍🥰
pickEngaging, entertaining, & thoughtful. Small town drug dealer Cillian English has pissed off his suppliers, they retaliate by snatching his teenage brother Doll and hiding him away in a country house. The story is elevated by Barrett's choice to frame the telling through the eyes of Nicky, Doll's girlfriend, and Dev, the owner of the house. Both really just want to get through this & be left alone. They give the story a unique and memorable heart.
Two VERY different #TuesdayTunes I keep returning to these days:

(Tagged is my current read!)
pickThis is a collection of short stories about “despair and desire in the modern day Ireland” (book blurb). As always in my experience, some short stories are better than others. But I can say that what I like in all of them was author‘s writing style to describe the places, so atmospheric. Love the characters voices and love this cover. This the first time I read a book by this author, definitely it would not be the last one 3,5⭐️
