Happy Good Friday everyone! I love Good Friday for a couple reasons...#1: I get the day off of work, #2: I was born on Good Friday 25 years ago. In case you weren't aware, Easter fell on April 19 in 1987, thus making me a Good Friday baby. My #3 and most important reason is that Good Friday always reminds me of why we are celebrating this holiday in the first place. Every year, I put out my Easter decor...eggs and bunnies...but when Good Friday rolls around it helps me remember the true meaning of Easter. I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Now, onto my link-up with Heather for Book Club Friday!

Today, I'm sharing...

Here's a synopsis...

Have you ever made a drunken bet? Worse, still, have you ever tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland with a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his foolhardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life. Joined by his trusty traveling companion-cum-domestic appliance, he made his way from Dublin to Donegal, from Sligo through Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Wicklow—and back again to Dublin. In their month of madness, Tony and his fridge met a real prince, a bogus king, and the fridge got christened. They surfed together, entered a bachelor festival, and one of them had sex without the other knowing. And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focus for the people of Ireland.

I started reading this book right before we went to Ireland because someone told Jared that we should read it while we were there. If you have ever been to Ireland before, I highly recommend this book. It is hysterical and how could it not be...it's a drunk guy hitchhiking around a country with a refrigerator. It is especially fun to read while traveling around Ireland because he writes about all the places that he visits on his journey and while we were traveling, we actually went to some of the same places that he did. This book is not only entertaining, but it is a good representation of the country of Ireland. It truly depicts the fun and hospitable nature of the Irish people.
