Muireann on 'Strange Pictures'

Strange pictures

Uketsu €10.99 Order by 6pm for Same Day Dispatch

This has gone completely viral, do not hold that against it. It is an amazing thriller — four seemingly unconnected stories, but how do they all come together? It's actually interactive because you can, through the pictures in the story, try to work it out, or if you're just like me, sit back and be like, "What the hell is going on?" Loved it.  

Muireann on 'Farewell to Eden'

Farewell to Eden

Sebastian Faulks €16.99 Order by 6pm for Same Day Dispatch

I fell in love with his writing when I was a teenager - Birdsong and Charlotte Gray - because it gave me a different view on World War II, one that I hadn't really seen before. This is actually 1940s Palestine and post-war Britain. I am discovering this with you, so I cannot wait to hear what you think.  

I’m delighted to be teaming up with Eason for this book club. I’m always excited to talk about a book I’ve loved, and I can’t wait to share two picks each month and explain what stood out to me. I hope readers find a new favourite - or a book they’ll want to pass on to someone else.- Muireann O’Connell
