Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Dublin?
The Dublin chapter has been in place since 2017. We have about 6 core members 30 or so active members. Pre COVID we would have had lively meetings averaging about 25 ladies. Numbers dropped a lot during lockdown where we had zoom meetings. It was lovely being back in The Rag Trader sitting around the open fire, on comfy seats with cocktails in hand for the last few months. Great to see new faces each month
What we are reading...
Story of my Life by Lucy Score
When rom-com author Hazel Hart’s marriage implodes and her publisher threatens to drop her if she misses one more deadline, she does what any self-respecting writer would do: she buys a crumbling mansion in a small Pennsylvania town she’s never visited, sight unseen.
Story Lake is not what she pictured. The house is a disaster, the locals are suspicious of city folk, and the contractor sent to fix the place, Campbell Bishop, is allergic to small talk. But something unexpected happens when Hazel trades her Upper East Side life for a town that’s seen better days: she starts writing again, the community starts to feel like home, and the grumpy contractor turns out to be more interesting than he first appears.
Lucy Score’s Story of My Life is a deeply fun, warm-hearted read about starting over, finding your people, and discovering that the best chapters of your life might begin exactly where you least expected. Perfect for anyone who has ever needed a complete reset and found one in the most unlikely place.
