An immensely moving talk from Colum McCann, Bassam Aramin & Rami Elhanan
with music from Colm Mac Con Iomaire. A privilege to have been there @SHHomePlace
Just a couple of seats left for our chat at 5-6.30 tomorrow with @PatrickKealey . It’s on Eventbrite or just get in touch if you want to come along. Great book!
Love this 🤣
As is traditional in Ireland during big storms, we all await a news story from a windswept reporter that has been tied to a lamppost in Salthill while some gobshite in the background flies a small dog like a kite as the waves smash over a poorly parked Ford Focus

Thank you to all those hardy folks who opened our door today in the most awful of days. Wind was extraordinary! Oh and here’s a picture of a nice book just for the entertainment value.

Happy #IndependentBookshopWeek week to fellow local indies @BooksPaperSciss @NOALIBISBOOKS @LittleAcornsBks @Thesecretbooks1, and to my wonderful bookselling pal @Wonder_Bookshop in Retford. May we all have an amazing week celebrating #independentbookshops! – at Dromore, Northern Ireland
Has anyone written a book or PhD on the subject of a mountain in literature? Two of the strangest books I’ve read have had a mountain as a key ‘character’. Loved them both. And I’m more of a beach girl 🤔
Not that I’m obsessed with @BBCRadio4 ( only a little) but @beingvarious Lucy Caldwell is featured this Sunday on Bookclub with James Naughtie. A nice change from election campaigns ?
I really like this series .. and today’s episode with Zadie Smith is great! She’s such a clear thinker ❤️ bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m0010…
Finally ( finally!) got into @UlsterMuseum this morning to see #Laveryexhibition and the two #Caravaggio paintings. Humbling 🤣 – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
A shout out to @WimbledonBooks today for my purchase of Evenings and Weekends. A really poignant set of characters. And a very lovely bookshop!
