The Life Lists is presented by mother-daughter duo Brenda Drumm and Emma Tobin. It's about life lists - anything from love, art, books, movies, cats, reading, poetry, health, wellness, social media, parenting and making mischief together.  This episode is all about books! We share five of the books that we each have on our TBR (to be read) pile or wish list. The books cover comedy, loss, crime, dragons and are from commercial fiction as well as fantasy and YA ( young adult).  We talk about some of the Irish and International authors in our TBR pile including: Carmel Harrington, Liz Nugent, Marian Keyes, Patrick Ness, Delia Owens, and Adrian Tchaikovsky. We also share where we find our book recommendations - from Twitter to Goodreads. Where do you get your trusted book recommendations?  We hope you enjoy listening. Please subscribe and spread the word.  Episode 4 is coming soon!  Bren and Em July 2020

The Life Lists is presented by mother-daughter duo Brenda Drumm and Emma Tobin. It's about life lists - anything from love, art, books, movies, cats, reading, poetry, health, wellness, social media, parenting and making mischief together. This episode is all about coronavirus and we are coping in lockdown. We answer a list of questions this time: How are you coping? What do you miss most? What’s the first thing you will do after lockdown? Who has inspired/irritated you? Do you have a message of hope? We are missing everything from people to places, Mass and Movie going, Karate and TK Max. We hope you and your loved ones are doing ok and staying safe. Have a listen and let us know what you would like us to chat about next. Please note that we had to record this with social distancing in mind and in a non studio setting so please allow for that and hopefully the bird song in the background will add to the atmospherics.

The first episode is here and was recorded when we thought we wanted to call our podcast The Podcast Our. We have since changed our name to The Life Lists but this episode captures the essence of the LISTS concept and so we wanted to keep it.  In this episode we talk about the list of things that make us cry as they relate to our own story. Remember the episode of Friends? The one where Joey has to put a copy of the book Little Women into the freezer as he doesn't want to read the part leading up to the sadness about Beth?  Well our list is like that. We talk about our family story of living with cancer and how this diagnosis changes the way we view things in life from books, movies, songs and life itself.   [Notes: The song we fail miserably to remember is called 'Heaven's Not Too Far' and the actress we equally fail to remember is Abigail Breslin!]
