Not the best of an idea watching ‘Don’t Say Good Luck’ after hearing that Dolly Parton died. Produced by Adam Sandler, this is not the comedy that you’d usually get from him, but it’s a beautiful story all the same. Tissues are an absolute necessity!

2026 has been absolutely ruthless. RIP Dolly Parton.

Over the last few months, I’ve put aside some time each evening to do some writing and my first draft is almost complete.

Spent the last few days watching all the ‘Final Destination’ films and ‘Jennifer’s Body’. Any recommendations for what to watch next? I’ve tapped into a genre that I’m quite enjoying.

Just a girl with her cornflake box.

Once, there was a time when we were the youngest in the room and now we’re the oldest. Like, what happened? How did it all go by so quickly.

I was not prepared for all the emotions whilst watching ‘Project Hail Mary’ what an absolutely stunning film! As usual Ryan Gosling delivered a stellar performance whilst wearing a quirky cardigan very well!

Today I finally finished ‘The Walsh Sisters’ by @mariankeyes.bsky.social. It encapsulates beautifully the hardships of life, grief, addiction, the pressure of becoming pregnant, the hurdles of being a mum & finding your place in society. All wrapped up with wit, drama & Irish charm along the away.

Has anyone watched the film adaptation of ‘The Housemaid’? I forgot how gory the book was and literally had to cover my eyes at some parts. Pretty good version, I thought. What did you think?

Saturday morning reading with @lisajewell.bsky.social

What a night seeing #KeanuReeves and his band Dogstar starting their European tour in Dublin. That’s definitely a big tick of the bucket list! ✔️

Be honest. How many times have you watched ‘Off Campus’?

Quick question, is ‘Want to Know a Secret?’ by Freida McFadden a new book or an existing book under a new name?

Haven’t done Wordle in ages and I got it in three goes. Delighted with myself.

The amount of times I go into bathroom and click on the lights to make sure that the taps are off, the neighbours are going to think I’m sending a distress signal for help.

A huge well done and congratulations to @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social on a fantastic #DromoreBookFestival. I was fortunate to attend talks with @claireallan.bsky.social, #AnnaMcPartlin, @miriamocal.bsky.social, @sharondempsey.bsky.social and @liznugent.bsky.social. I loved every second of it!

I’ve just watched ‘Weapons’ and I don’t think I’ll sleep ever again.

Happy publication day to @liznugent.bsky.social on the release of her new book called ‘The Truth about Ruby Cooper’ a dark and tangled story riddled with lies and betrayal. #BookReview #TheTruthAboutRubyCooper

The disappointment of reaching for your cup of tea and discovering the cup is empty. 😩

Happy publication day to @michaeljbooks.bsky.social author #LesleyPearse on the release of her book called ‘The Girl with the Suitcase’. Looking forward to reading this one soon. Thank you @edpr.bsky.social for the copy of the book. #TheGirlWithTheSuitCase

‘Bring Me Sunshine’ is by @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social author @alexbrownauthor.bsky.social is a beautifully written story that will brighten up the darkest of days and is a glorious book about friendship and was an absolute page turner from the first page.

‘The Honeymoon Affair’ by @headlinebooks.bsky.social author @sheilawriter.bsky.social , a story that I couldn’t put down, flowing at a lovely pace and strong relatable characters and a plotline that I was fully invested in. #TheHoneymoonAffair #BookReview

‘The Friend of the Family’ by #DeanKoontz is a beautifully written story about finding your place in life and never giving up. #TheFriendOfTheFamily #BookReview #FMCMAssociates

‘A Song for Me and You’ by @hodderbooks.bsky.social author #MikeGayle is a beautifully written story about reconnecting and new beginnings. It’s the first book I’ve read by Mike in a while and I loved it! #BookReview

‘The Compound’ is the debut novel by Aisling Rawle and is a cleverly written story with a protagonist that is both likeable and dislikable in equal measures. An addictive debut that was impossible to put down. #BookReview #TheCompound #AislingRawle

I’m just out of ‘Hamnet’ and I’m in bits. BITS.
