¿De las charlas con autores de literatura juvenil siempre se sale con botines como este? ¿Me he equivocado de sector? @suedivinwriter.bsky.social, @kellymccaughrain.bsky.social, @thatstephendaly.bsky.social y Jenny Ireland sacan libro este año y los cuatro son muy top. #BelfastBookFestival

Northern Irish YA authors on tour together today round nine Dublin bookshops. Had a blast. The books are great too. Honestly. @firstink.bsky.social

Congratulations to @kellymccaughrain.bsky.social on publication day for Just Another Dead Boy. Definitely a YA novel to put on your list of must reads (and to buy for teen readers in your life).

Enjoyed this interview. ‘I loved this book so much; I couldn’t put it down, and would urge anyone to read it, whatever their age. Above all it’s a redemptive story of an exceptional pair of siblings.’ Sue Leonard.

Every book bought today supports writers, bookshops, civilisation and the beautiful lie that you will read it before buying another one.

Any teen readers in your life? This event in Belfast is a real rare opportunity to bring them to hear 4 NI YA authors with new books out this spring. Also: It’s ‘pay what you want’! National year of reading has sponsored free books and free goody bags! info: belfastbookfestival.com/festival-pro...

Thank you @irishtimes.com @martindoyle.bsky.social for featuring Runaway Road! www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

Acabo de terminar la nueva novela de Sue Divin, que presentó ayer en Belfast, y se confirma que esta autora solo sabe escribir librazos. Me habría pasado otras 300 páginas con esos personajes. Congrats @suedivinwriter.bsky.social! Una pasada la LIJ que está saliendo de Irlanda del Norte últimamente.
