Thanks for sharing your Irish books :) The Irish Readathon is happening until the end of March too if you wanted to pick up any on your TBR before the end of the month :D
Southern Ireland is beautiful, Dublin is very touristy but you have to go to say you have been. Thank you so much, look forward to your videos so much and the dogs xx
I want to try a bike ride through the southern part of Ireland - it just looks so beautiful! And good to know about Dublin lol. I feel like that's how most capitals are.
I've been to Ireland several times and love it! The history, people, pubs, and scenery are amazing! On our last trip we went to the village where my husband's grandmother grew up before she emigrated to America. Ireland is near and dear to our hearts and I highly recommend a visit.
Yes! Love What the Wind Knows!! I want to read Trinity!! Sounds so good! The Princes of Ireland looks good too! Loved this video! I added a lot to my tbr!!
Ireland and Scotland are definitely on my bucket list!! I used to read a ton of Maeve Binchy when I was in college. Tara Road, The Quentins, Light a Penny Candle were some of my favorites.
Omg Scotland too.... ugh both beautiful countries! So many more Scottish than Irish books on my shelves too, I should do a video on those! And good to know about Maeve Binchy!
I’ve been on a weekend tour of Southern Ireland in college, amazing! Maeve Binchy - I think her best known is Circle of Friends, which has a movie too. I own Tara Road but haven’t read it yet, my mom did recently and liked it, concept like the movie Holiday. I’m currently reading London by Edward Rutherfurd, it’s a long slow background read for me, but mostly enjoying it. I do like how he uses fictional characters to write history, some are more interesting than others. Long chapters though, be warned!
I really need to read more Amy Harmon after loving From Sand and Ash so much! It was good to see a book from her on this list! 🧡 I'm still loving the Normal People show so much too! I've seen up to the first college episode so far. It's really good! 🙂 Love all your recommendations, Melissa!
Yes Normal People is my favorite Irish tv show! So good. Love the acting in it too. Thanks so much Milton! Glad you enjoyed and are still loving the tv show too :)
Ireland is my No. 1 place I would love to travel, so I've made note of most of your books. I've read one or two of Maeve Binchy's books, but it was years ago and I don't remember anything to tell. I read an article about her - probably written when she passed away, but both she and her husband were writers. Thanks for all the recommendations.
So glad I could give you some good recommendations. Ireland is top 5 for me. Want to go SO BAD! And that's cool about Maeve Binchy, I had no idea her husband wrote too. That's awesome.
I love Maeve Binchy books-have read Light a Penny Candle, Quentin’s, Tara Road, Scarlet Feather and others. Have read Echoes and must admit it’s my very least favorite of hers, partly because of its semi-sad ending. To me it’s just not the typical heartwarming Binchy I love, won’t re-read.
Love Maeve Binchy and have read most of her books, but Echoes to me is somewhat atypical in that its ending is semi-sad, my least favorite of hers. I loved Light a Penny Candle, Quentin’s, Scarlet Feather and others.
One of these days I'm expecting you to just sit behind one of your dogs to talk and have your dog look directly at the camera the whole time. **hehee** Thanks for these book recs!
Honestly Trinity is one of the best books I have ever read. 😍
You give the most interesting author and book info! Such an amazing channel. 🎉
My TBR list grows with each video. 😊 Good job! 🎈
Hi Melissa🐾🐾📚I just luv your book choices & you inspire me to read TFS ☺️

Aww thank you! So love Irish books. 💚 And love your channel!
My favorite book by Maeve Binchy is Light a Penny Candle. Excellent book.
Maeve Binchy could weave a story like no other.
Oooo I'm excited now. I can't wait to read her.
Two more Binchy books that are really good: “Circle of Friends” and “Light a Penny Candle.”

I adored "What the Wind Knows"!!! Wonderful video. Thank you!!
What The Wind Knows is a masterpiece! Yes! And thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed.

Absolutely cannot wait to go there. And that is sooo cool about your family history, that would be such a neat experience.
Yes! Love What the Wind Knows!! I want to read Trinity!! Sounds so good! The Princes of Ireland looks good too! Loved this video! I added a lot to my tbr!!
OMG I cannot decide which Amy Harmon book I like the best. They are all sooooo good. Thanks for watching Tori! Glad you enjoyed. :)
I love your pup!!!

So many fun titles!! I’m definitely going to look up some of those!
Aww thanks Rainey! Glad you enjoyed.
Oh I have a Maeve Binchy on my Kindle! A friend of mine LOVES her 💕
Yeah she seems to be very well-loved! I need to try her out too.
One of my favourite books is Cashelmara by Susan Howatch, I want to read Trinity too. Love books by Irish authors and set in Ireland
I have 3 Susan Howatch on my shelves now! Can't wait to try her out.
We are planning a trip to Ireland in 2023 if this pandemic is over. My parents are from there and I will visit my Cousins.
Hopefully by 2023 we can all be travelling again. That's a great thing to look forward to!
I’d never heard of Trinity: tbr’d!
I recommend Haunted Ground by Erin Hart. I believe there are 4 or 5 books in this series and the writing is magical.
Just discovered your channel, great recommendatsion!

Not me thinking “red” again when you said “read” and “unread”🤣🤭loved this video as always! Such a smart idea for the occasion!
LOL all good Kylie. And thanks so much! Gotta capture the spirit of St. Patrick's Day any way I can :)

LOL and if that were to happen, it would be my most viewed video I'm sure.
@@librariesandlabradors :: Sad/funny to say ... it probably would. **hahaa**
It's something like Colum Tole bean.
"Collum Toe-bean" actually. Many rural Irish people would pronounce that first name as 'Cullum'
@@sean_d Thank you. My American ears kept hearing an L in Toe, even though it didn't make sense. And I should have put two Ls in Collum.
Have you read trinity yet?
