But after reading the first chapter, Hogan “just found the time.”

The Irish actress said she would also be open to “a bit of a cameo” in the show, although she enjoys “filming things I’m not in and casting people.” Horgan also shared three other books she’s enjoyed recently, including Jennette McCurdy’s memoir I’m glad my mom died.

“I was a fan [of McCurdy] because my girls were obsessed iCarly” said Horgan. “It’s hard with the child actors and the Nickelodeon stuff because it’s a very different way of performing – it’s a very performative performance – [but] it was the opposite. She was so dry and so naturally funny, she just had great timing and could be a clown.”

Hogan also admired McCurdy’s honesty in the memoir. “When I talked to her about it, I just thanked her for revealing so much of herself,” Horgan added. “It was so rewarding to hear a public figure so honest and committed to telling her story and not worrying about her public image.”

“I don’t want my daughters to always see me reading on my laptop or my phone, which is how I usually read scripts,” she said. “So I simply worked together to make reading more of a thing, like I always have books in the house and recommend things to them.” Hogan previously told PEOPLE about her writing process for Bad sistersan Apple TV+ series about five Dublin sisters who try to cover up the murder of one of their abusive husbands. Horgan said she was a “magpie for people’s stories” while developing the script, though now she’s wary of using people’s real experiences as inspiration.

Play now!” I think at first when I started, I was so excited about the fact that I was going to be doing this thing and being able to tell these stories, but I also had this other part of me that was like, ‘Well, what if I run out of ideas ?We’re still doing this thing, how do I keep the train on the tracks?’, she said. ”
