'Tis: A Memoir

Last week I finished ”Tis’, the sequel to ‘Angela’s Ashes’. I got to say I think I kind of liked it more than ”A.A.’ Angela’s Ashes was great in the sense that it was almost a historical document - what’s it like to grow up poor in Ireland durin...

Angelas Ashes: A Memoir

I borrowed ‘Angela’s Ashes’ from my mother in law back in November (does it REALLY take me 2 months to read a freakin’ book?). Her and her sister warned me that it’d be super depressing and did I really want to read it. Okay, it’s not a 100%...
