"Tell Us The Craic" Books To Read After Watching Derry Girls

“Tell Us The Craic” Books To Read After Watching Derry Girls

I LOVE the Netflix show Derry Girls. Derry Girls was added something a wee bit different to the comedy genre. It not only talked about a difficult but vital time period of a country’s history, but it also didn’t make the Troubles the overlying plot of the show’s plot. With humor and realism, it captured the ups and downs of growing up, even if there is an internal conflict going on. You couldn’t…

#BookReviewTour ~ Island in the Sun: Growing up in Jamaica 1948-1954 by Monica Carly @ZooloosBT #ReadNonFicChal #BookTwitter #BookRec #BookPromo

My Thoughts Monica outlines an intriguing comparison between her early days as a child in Jamaica and the life being lived there now after visiting the area. Therefore, she does a lot of descriptions of day-to-day life that would be foreign even to most of the current generation’s childhood. It is a window through which the many ebbs and tides of that time emerge, yet in an individual and…

☕🏘️ Ever wonder how a single café can transform a community? My latest blog post dives into the story of how one café and one special neighbor reshaped my entire experience of Montreal's Plateau. #CommunityConnection #MontrealLife #PlateauMontRoyal

My upstairs neighbour turned 30. Growing up, neighbours were people whose names I didn’t remember and whom my mother would talk to for hours on the driveway; people who knew your life but didn’t know you, to be avoided at all costs. Paralysing suburbia, filled with characters straight out of the Diary of a Nobody. Growing up, I swore I would never have a driveway or silly neighbours. I would be…

Book Review & Giveaway: Becoming Dr. Seuss by Brian Jay Jones

Book Review & Giveaway: Becoming Dr. Seuss by Brian Jay Jones

Dr. Seuss is a classic American icon. Whimsical and wonderful, his work has defined our childhoods and the childhoods of our own children. The silly, simple rhymes are a bottomless well of magic, his illustrations timeless favorites because, quite simply, he makes us laugh. The Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, Horton, and so many more, are his troupe of beloved, and uniquely Seussian, creations.
