‘Aisling is 29 and she’s still a complete Aisling.
After a tough year, things between herself and John are back on track, and life with Sadhbh and Elaine in their notiony Dublin apartment is more craic than ever.
But when a shock change means moving Down Home might be her only option, Aisling is thrown. Can she give up the sophistication of brunch and unlimited Pinot Greej? Will she and Mammy kill each other living back under the same roof? And where does that leave her and John?
I’ve decided that 2019 is going to be a big reading year for me. I usually set myself a challenge on Goodreads (my holy grail app!) and I still will, but this time around I’m going to reward myself – for every book I finish, I’m going to pop €2 in a jar. At the end of the year, I’m going to take whatever money I have made, and (hopefully) go on a book buying spree with it!
I read about this idea on Facebook and loved it! Reading is a rewarding hobby anyway mentally but it’s fun to put a little monetary reward there too!
Jodi Picoult’s ‘Leaving Time’ introduces us to Jenna Metcalf, a 13 year old girl who lives with her grandmother in New England. Her life is dedicated to finding out what happened to her mother, Alice, in a tragic accident ten years before at the elephant sanctuary Jenna used to live at with her parents, and the sanctuary workers, Gideon, his wife Grace, and Grace’s mother Nevvie. Alice was taken to hospital the night of the accident, and by the next morning, she was missing, leaving her young daughter and husband behind.
