📚 2025 Book Thread 📚 Another year, another book thread. Keeping one in the other place too. Only goals this year are to keep using the library & try get out of my reading comfort zone more often!

@ShelfSiobhan @bertsbooks Ordinary Saints by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin. It is wonderful.

@bertsbooks Without fail, The Names by Florence Knapp

I have an #ImportantFridayQuestion What’s the best book you’ve read so far this year?

You had me at watermelon margarita. Everything we had in Achara was super tasty. The grilled prawns are amazing. ✌🏼

Parilla in Ranelagh was 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻 Excellent, tasty Mexican food. The beef & cheese empanada, jalapeño croquettes & fish tacos were particularly good.

55: Prima Facie. Adapted from the play that starred Jodie Comer and I think it might have been more impactful as a play. As a book, it was fine but not dissimilar to other books I have read.

54: Moonflower Murders. Turns out, a book within a book can be quite irritating.

On my 6th trip to Brussels in 3 years, I treated myself to a nice dinner. Lola does simple, classic cooking *exceptionally* well. The best lobster ravioli and bisque I have ever had (high praise as I order it whenever it’s on a menu)! And my first ever Ile Flottante. Gorge.

I was sent to Galway for work but I went for the food. Kai has been on my list for literal years and did not disappoint. And you cannot beat pizza at Dough Bros and a spicy marg 👌🏻
