I haven’t been able to read properly for months. Poor attention span! But I’ve missed it. This beautiful book though - read with the sound of the sea crashing onto the County Clare coast is reeling me back in! First Hugo Hamilton for me & it’s gorgeous. Thanks Hugo and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

The postman and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social have conspired to brighten my day no end, with copies of Eric Flint / Ryke Spoor’s sci-fi novel “Fenrir,” alongside S M Stirling’s “The Winds of Fate.” The question now is, how will I get any writing of my own done this weekend?? #BookSky

We were so honoured to have Sabina Higgins officially open the photography exhibition 'Joe O'Shaughnessy's Druid' this past weekend at The Kenny Gallery @kennysbookshop.bsky.social.

I don't know why anyone determined to buy a book online in Ireland wouldn't get it from this place, genuinely.

Pun intended.

Not a request you get every day, but we love to see it! #gaeilge
