Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

I couldn't love this most supportive, generous, talented author more if I tried! Thanks to @liznugent.bsky.social for doing this & for her continued support of Bridge Books, #DromoreBookFestival & me! Come see Liz on Sat 9th May. She's amazing, as are her books! www.ticketsource.com/bridge-books...

It’s been a good week. Thanks to all the readers and booksellers and to my Penguin team. I don’t take any of this for granted and I’m especially pleased to share the chart with so many writer friends. ❤️

Custom carrier bag for the new book from the queen of psychological suspense, @liznugent.bsky.social Now that’s impressive @dubraybooks.bsky.social

Really looking forward to hearing @liznugent.bsky.social discuss her brilliant new book at @paviliontheatre.bsky.social on Wednesday evening - tickets almost gone!

Am a big fan of this uniform look for the @liznugent.bsky.social backlist (seen here at easons). When so many crime thriller covers have a uniform blandness (generic woman running away from house on dark night vibes), these stand out.

Evil weapons boss vows to destroy women's rights is a bit on the nose even for 2026.

Happy publication day to the wonderful @liznugent.bsky.social with the brilliant, The Truth About Ruby Cooper. Liz's fans have been waiting for a new Nugent and this one definitely doesn't disappoint! Order a signed softback via the link. You won't regret it! bridgebooksdromore.co.uk?s=Ruby+coope...

Speaking as a mother - this is a perfect Mother’s Day gift. Honestly: speaking also as a reader, not just someone who likes Liz. Guess what I’m hoping for in my Mother’s Day Stocking?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 #TheTruthAboutRubyCooper from @liznugent.bsky.social and @penguinukbooks.bsky.social introduces us to such a divisive and manipulating character. Self-preservation is at the heart of every choice Ruby makes. Published 12/3/26 #BookSky Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/ytad47z3

#TheTruthAboutRubyCooper from @liznugent.bsky.social and @penguinukbooks.bsky.social is a compelling read, Ruby is such a divisive character. Already gripped by my next read, #HowToGetAwayWithMurder from Rebecca Philipson and @bantambooksuk.bsky.social #BookSky #BookBlogger

The Live Nation Ticketmaster merger has been an absolute DISASTER for artists and fans. Live Nation now controls roughly 70-80% of major concert and live‑event ticket sales and owns a significant share of venues and concert promotions.

‘Knowledge of Beauty.’ The second film by Jack Hazan shot in County Mayo in the West of Ireland using 35mm film which Jack said made the scenery look more lush than normal. About the 3 films Jack said, ‘I listened to what Kevin had to say and tried to interpret what he wanted. I didn’t betray him.’

I’d like to go one day without hearing his name. I’m exhausted.

Wishing trees are an Irish tradition, often hawthorn trees on which people hang ribbons or other small offerings in the hopes that their wishes will be answered. Heaney beautifully weaves the imagery of the wishing tree into a moving vision of remembrance.

It’s 600m from gates of Leinster House to X European HQ. 4 minutes in a Garda vehicle from Pearse Street Garda Station. Less if you have the blue lights on.

Any good news? Anybody?

Strange Sally Diamond was published in France yesterday. Bonne chance, Sally!

Labour Senator Laura Harmon says the Government should consider banning social media platform X entirely in Ireland in response to the ‘undressing’ scandal. “If there was a factory created down the road this morning that was producing these kind of images, it would be shut down immediately.”

Every media figure and politician could do exactly this right now. @garygannon signs off from X, the deepfake child sexual abuse material generation app.

In case you missed this last week - I took a quick run through some of the books I'm looking forward to most in 2026 for @independent.ie. m.independent.ie/entertainmen...

Grok and Tesla need to be banned by the EU.

We had a good run

👇 Difficult & important words. (⚠️ a tough read )

Read this in one day - could not put it down. I try, on and off, to write about a sociopath I encountered, who, like Oliver, grew up in institutions. It's not easy to inspire a smidge of empathy for a killer, but @liznugent.bsky.social pulls it off beautifully here.

The cruelty of this is sadly unsurprising.

Featuring my favourite husband among the tenors. All welcome! 🎄🎄🎄
