Book # 3: An Irish Country Christmas

By Patrick Taylor

This is the third is a series about an Irish country doctor. Barry joins Doctor O'Reilly's practice in the town of Ballybucklebo. The adventure starts when Barry goes to ring the bell of the practice, and the door swings open, and Dr. O'Reilly thrusts a patient out into the bushes criticizing him for not having washed his feet before coming to the office to have his injured foot looked at. It is a fun, fast read, and Dr. O'Reilly proves to be just as entertaining in each of the three books, yet proves that he has a big heart. Highly recommended if you need something light-hearted to read! My only precaution is that you will be hungry afterwards, as their housekeeper makes amazing meals, and a lot are described in detail.

Next to read: The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

That sounds like such a fun and cozy read! My sister-in-law and I have just started a book club. We're reading Jane Austin's "Northanger Abbey." I'll be interested to see what you think of the George MacDonald book. I need to start thinking about our next choice!
