You know you're from Ireland when...
  • If you die from alcohol poisoning, you're considered a lightweight,  
  • The person that you insult most is probably your best friend, 
  • Saying 'I will yea' means that you definitely won't,  
  • 'Hes fond of a drink' means he suffers from severe life-threatening alcoholism
  •  Saying you're going for a drink means you might not be seen again for 3 days, 
  • Crisps are called 'Taytos' and fizzy drinks are called 'minerals', 
  • 'For the craic' is the best reason for doing anything, 
  •  The best cure for a hangover is more drink, 
  •  Nobody can go a day without saying 'Jaysus', 
  • 'Meeting' has a double meaning, 
  • Tea is the solution to every problem, 
  • 'I got stuck behind a tractor' is a perfectly valid reason for being late, 
  •  We eat crisp sandwich for lunch, 
  • You say the phrase, "Hi, how are ya?" as a greeting and don't expect an answer. 
  • You can insert the name of a gardening tool into any sentence and it still makes sense, e.g. 'I had a rake of drink last night' or 'I'll be out in a minute, I'm just shoveling down the dinner', 
  • Its perfectly acceptable to call your mother 'mammy' even though you are a fully grown adult, 
  •  Saying 'Now we're sucking diesel' means that you are happy with the outcome of the situation, 
  • Drinking 'tae' is everyone's favourite past time, 
  • You're scared of the wooden spoon, 
  • The word 'like' goes in every sentence, 
  • You can say 'Any craic' to the police and you won't get arrested,
  • You end your phone calls with "bye, bye, bye, bye, bye".

Jane Casey: Maeve Kerrigan Series

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I've just finished my Journalism course, (exam wise anyway) I'm just waiting on results. Ahhhhh.. As a wee treat to myself and much to Scott's dismay I bought myself the rest of Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan books, including the newest one. Thought I might as well as I loved The Kill which is the 5th book in the series, if memory serves me right and I got so invested in the characters I just had to know more about them. Beginning with The Burning which is roughly about a nasty serial killer targeting young women. His trademark is the fact he then burns his victims making identifying them and him more difficult. The 'first' one we come across as a live crime scene is one that they are not sure if this victim was murdered by the Burning Man. This leads Maeve down a different route trying to discover if this victim is one of the serial killers victims OR if its an entirely different case entirely. In this book we see the bir...

Katerina Diamond: The Teacher

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. Yeah I suck at regular posts but I'm getting there. Recently it's hard to find the time to read, awk well. I'll get there! Very happy with this book haul. Thank you Amazon! I've even another batch ordered and hopefully will be delivered this week! Can't wait. It really is the simple things in life. I usually pick books either on reviews or from the suggestion section on Amazon. And this is what I've based my last couple of book buys on.  Can honestly say this book was a lot darker than I was expecting. I thought from the description that it was about a suicide and the events that lead up to it. However, that's really not what the book it about. It's told from about three perspectives, Abbey, Parker and DS Adrian Miles.  Abbeys' story is told through flashbacks to her past and her work life, Parker is a new intern at the museum where Abbey works and DS Miles is one of the detectives on the case of the...

Catherine King: Her mother's secret

Hey guys, another post so soon? I know I'm spoiling you ;) Finally got my mojo back and it's nice to be writing again. This book was given to me by my mommabear. It's more her type of book, I'm funny when I see certain covers, no idea why just am. I think it's probably because I know they're my mums type of book if that makes any sense? This book is actually really good. It's got love, scandal, social hierarchy and for a while we're concerned the past is doomed to repeat itself. The story begins with a scene from the past, Ruth Hargreaves is a beautiful, young woman ready for her first party with the upper class. The master of the house takes a fancy to her and forces himself upon her. This however, is not the worst betrayal of Ruth's trust. Her father, Seth makes a deal with Lord Laughton in which he forced Ruth to be his mistress in exchange for a higher position within the Laughton household. There is more to it here, but I'll let you fi...
