I love seeing pics of readers with my books on their holidays, it’s an honour and a privilege to be your sun lounger read! 🩷🩷🩷

A lovely day of signing books around dublin, radio and tv interviews. Exhausted but happy (and praying for a bestseller lol)

While I'm recommending books I enjoyed, I was lucky to receive an early copy of @vickinotaro.com 's Long Story which is a glamorous, hilarious and deep exploration of friendship between two women. Pictured: My fiancee and I drinking too much rosé at the launch.

I’ve had the most beautiful few days celebrating LONG STORY, and next week will be spent promoting it - it’s fair to say, it’s well and truly launched and available in all formats NOW!

A very belated happy publication day to @vickinotaro.com on the release of her second novel, ‘Long Story’, addictive and fun packed with strong characters, entertaining scenarios and an insight into the world of Hollywood. #LongStory #BookReview #BookBlogger handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Eeeeep! @vickinotaro.com

Finished copies of Long Story arrived today! Out everywhere on May 29th.

Is there ANY craic to be had on this app? Any at all????

The paperback of my debut novel Reality Check is out today in Ireland, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and many more fab countries around the world. Plus it’s only €7 in @dublinairport.bsky.social this week, on offer in @whsmithofficial.bsky.social 🩷✈️

Read Irish Women Challenge 2025 Day 11: A book that deals with fashion or beauty - Reality Check by Vicki Notaro #readirishwomen #books #irish #womenwriters #authors #readmorebooks @vickinotaro.com @bookaneer808.bsky.social

Dirty Dancing for the season finale of You Had Me At Hello! Out now wherever you get your pods 🩷

‘Long Story’ by @vickinotaro.com, I absolutely adored this witty and emotional rollercoaster of a story. Escapism reading at its finest. #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Man it sure is weird that there’s a manufactured economic crisis that will require historic reindustrialization on the cheap sans worker protections while unions are being marginalized and children prepared for labor and the oligarchs who own the president need support for automation technology.

The paperback version of my debut novel arrived today, and it’s absolutely beautiful 🥹

I gotta say, sometimes I really miss the lighthearted vibes of Twitter. I know the world is going to hell in a handbag but BlueSky is very serious all the time, where is my comical housewives gang, where are the sassy legends

This looks like my literal office lol 🧙🏼‍♀️

Long Story is out May 29th!

Happy publication to one of the best to ever do it! City Girls Forever js a gorgeous read, and Devlin Delaney will always be an icon 💜💜💜

Reminder: Kennys Bookshop delivers for free in Ireland. Easons have free delivery over 10 euros (and also sell toys and games and stationary). Lots of lovely booksellers in the actual stores too, like Books Upstairs, Gutter Bookshop, Hodges Figgis.

Joe has got really in to Apple Music country, send help

A gorgeous weekend in London Town celebrating eight years of marriage in style! Yes, that is a cocktail served in a head.

Spending Sunday afternoon bawling my way through A Whole New World of Alan Menken at the London Palladium.

Absolutely loved rewatching The Notebook and chatting about it with Doireann Garrihy! Available wherever you get your pods now!

Pals v familiar with London - anyone been to Ambassadors Clubhouse or Carlotta?

Last year I released a weird, little novel about ghosts and drinking and male friendships and anxiety. The Kindle version is on sale for 1 Pound for the rest of the month. Not sure if it's your cup of tea? Check out the first three pages:

The pod has been featured on Apple this week in Ireland, I keep getting frights when I open the app - but good ones! 🩷🩷🩷

Me to Joe: If I was on Gladiators, my name would be Vixen. What would yours be? Joe: mine would be Silence. 🤭 @wedoazure.ie

A sneak peek at the paperback cover of Reality Check. Isn’t she chic?! Out in April! #irishbooks #author #irelandreads

Happy #IrelandReads day! Thrilled that I have a novel out in the world and another coming, you can buy or borrow or listen or download and as Rupaul would say… reading is fundamental!!! Thank you Irish libraries for all you do.

Jacko, by me.

Today I Deliverooed tissues, ginger shots, fruit and soup from M&S because I have a shitty cold. That’s both amazing technologically and embarrassingly notions-y.

On tomorrow’s You Had Me At Hello… it was only fair that I dragged my own Valentine in to it! 🥰🩷 @wedoazure.ie

I adore Ireland’s Fittest Family, and I’m the least athletic person you’ll meet. I have no idea why this format hasn’t been sold all around the world?

My podcast You Had Me At Hello is back for season two! Listen in to my chat with @davinadevine.bsky.social on #BridgetJones 🩷 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/y...

Tried to deactivate my X account and instead of doing that, it kicked me out of it entirely. Made me change my password and now won’t let me back in because of 2FA. Anyone else experience similar?

Running a little competition over on insta to celebrate season two of You Had Me At Hello… Same username as here!

my friends, here is a very special limited edition of Eat The Ones You Love from the good people at Kenny’s. you should go get one before they’re gone 👁️🌱
