Oh god, dont bother with The Snowman, it was rubbish. :mad:
I just read Alias Grace and it was a great read, great pacing and very visual (like a lot of Margaret Atwoods books).

Anyone else like "Botched"?
Im not super fond of Nassiff (didnt care too much for him in RHOBH) but the stories are fascinating

Ah, I’ll cross that off my list so. Nothing worse than a disappointing read, especially one that’s so hyped up.

I read horns a while ago and enjoyed it, heart shaped box was an ok read by joe hill, too.

Is it bad that I remember watching the original Dynasty ?!
And Falcon Crest , Knots Landing , time to shut up now.....:D

Mam, what about Dallas, did you watch that?.. I loved Dallas back in the day when it was popular, even though they were millionaires they must have had a homeless problem in Dallas back then, everyone lived together in the same house.... I never watched Dynasty, Knots Landing or FC.

Ha Colly , that's brilliant - homeless problem !
Falcon Crest was struck with the same crises , a few of them lived in the same house , poor rich people !

Loved Dallas , Jock and Miss Ellie , and poor Ray !

Knots Landing was a spin off from Dallas, Gary was JR's brother

I enjoyed the Dallas reboot

Anyone remember Sunset Beach or was it all a dream

“People of Ireland! What’s the craic? I hear that my girl Michelle Visage is doing great on Ireland’s Got Talent. It’s clear that you queens are deadly and mighty as well, but you better work, or you’ll be sashaying away"

Ru Paul is so right, I'm deadly queen who likes to sashay. :):):):):):)

PSA: Ebooks and Audio books from the library

So all the libraries of Ireland are now connected so if one branch has it, you can request it.

You can download an app either on your desktop or mobile (itunes / android) called BorrowBox. You can set up an account via your library card (assuming you have one. If not, pop into your local branch. My library subscription is now free in my county!). Once you have your library card number, it's really easy to set up an account and BOOM now you're reading!

There's an ok selection of books and audiobooks. I use the audiobooks because I can't afford an audible subscription and you can just renew the ebooks / audiobooks from your phone or desktop. It's a brilliant service. Cannot highly recommend it enough to get us through this post CBB times.

Here's the link to the desktop version of South County Dublin online library (not my local one). Not sure if all the different digital libraries for each county is the same.

Thanks for that link wyrn!

I have never really tried audio books, must give them a try.

I do too! Watched Dallas too but not the rest. I used to love Moonlighting as well. Anyone remember that one? Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis were in it.

A Joe Hill book I enjoyed was Wraith, it's nice and creepy.
