All Things Cease To Appear by Elizabeth Brundage This book has been languishing in a TBR pile for about 5 yrs & I finally decided to give it a bash last week. So glad I did. Beautifully written literary thriller that’s quite unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Highly recommend. #bookreview

Agree

Fantastic & well deserved @ronanhession.bsky.social 👏🏼 👏🏼

Well done for making it to the end of January. Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself. If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

Love libraries 💖

Sleeping for seven hours straight. What’s rare is beautiful.

After being chosen by Irish comedian Neil Delamere as his favourite book on @bbctwo.bsky.social #Betweenthecovers Sales have been incredible for Leonard and Hungry Paul by @ronanhession.bsky.social Reprint number 15 on its way. You may wish to note the above. @thebookseller.bsky.social

Thanks Paul! 😘

Just noticed I’ve 👀 or 👂 to 99 books this year. Looks like I’m on track for a nice round 100 depending on my next choice & how much reading I can squeeze in by the 31st. I haven’t checked but I’ve a feeling that the audio books may actually be in the majority this year for the first time. #booksky

A bit of good news: New Jersey takes a stand for intellectual freedom in schools and libraries. No stories will be silenced. #booksky #librarysky #reading #bannedbooks #library #edusky

Christmas 2024 Books! Very happy with this lot. ❤️ Show me yours #booksky? #bookloversofbluesky

Anyone read this? Just finished it and it’s probably going to be my book of the year. I’m amazed I haven’t heard more about it! Exquisite writing. Hot Springs Drive by Lindsay Hunter. #books #domesticnoir

I’m all set for 2025 with my gorgeous new desk calendar from @ghollandphoto.bsky.social Trying not to peep but I know that turning the page for each new month will bring me joy. Thanks Ger 😘

When your library reserves all arrive at the same time & you’re stressing a little bit because you already have HUNDREDS of unread books but you also know you’ll probably buy/borrow/reserve even more by the end of the week. Just me? 😅

⭐️ Book Post⭐️ Thanks so much to Donal Ryan for sending me a proof of this absolutely beautiful looking book. 💚💙 heart, be at peace. Indeed. 💚💙 (thanks also for the personal message which really made my day.) @doubledaybooks #heartbeatpeace #donalryan #greatirishwriters #newbooks2024

Ghost mountain Finished this a few days ago but needed time to get my thoughts in order. There are lots of words I want to use yet many feel inadequate. I know Rónán is a fan of Japanese literature and I could feel its influence here.. yet Ghost Mountain feels completely fresh & unique 1/2

Just finished this & I don’t feel I have the words to express what a compelling and important read it is. Just read it. Or even better, (imo) listen to Katriona tell her story. #poor @BorrowBox

@louisekennedy.bsky.social @kitdewaal.bsky.social @liznugent.bsky.social whoop! 🎉 💃🏻 🎤 🥂 who will be first up for the #karaoke ? 😍😍😍

Please share - New Prize for non-fiction for black women writers, amplifying us as knowledge-makers and critical thinkers. Global scope with a $20,000 award for exceptional work by black cis, trans and genderqueer women. Details here. Judged by Bernadine Evaristo.

FINALLY! (First copy went astray in the post) 🎉 GHOST MOUNTAIN 🧡 I am so happy & excited to receive this proof that there may have even been a little tear 🥰 Thank you to the lovely Kevin @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social & the even lovelier @ronanhession.bsky.social #ghostmountain 🧡🧡🧡

I adore Barbra Streisand & am so looking forward to this. 48hours of listening to that gorgeous voice? Yes please. Might treat myself to an hour a day to make it last …& will probably buy the hardback too as it’s so beautiful 💖 #MyNameIsBarbra

Very special to receive proof copies of Ghost Mountain, out in May next year. This book is my exploded heart.

Best luck to my amazing husband Peter running #DublinCityMarathon this morning! So proud of him and the money he’s raised for Children In Hospital. If you see him give him some love! 🏃🏼‍♂️ 💚 🚀
