An Irish Book I discovered at a bookshop event.
I picked up #TheGhostLimb by @clairemitchell.bsky.social at the #DromoreBookFestival - organised by the legendary @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social. Claire was joined onstage by @lindaervine.bsky.social that night.
An Irish book I discovered at a bookshop event was the wonderful ‘Rathlin: A Wild Life’ by @rubyfree.bsky.social #IrishBookWeek #IrishBookaDay #BookSky
That's a wrap on #IrishBookWeek. It genuinely has been lovely. Three events, plus two Library NI events and lots of love for Irish books & authors! This week's #TopTenBestsellingTitles stack has to be the bestselling Irish titles of the week! Thank you for all your support, Les xx
An Irish book I’m going to read next has been on my shelf for a while but has remained untouched until now- James Joyce- Dubliners #irishbookweek #IrishBookaDay #BookSky
#IrishBookWeek | Day 8: Share an Irish Book you discovered at a bookshop event
For the final day of Irish Book Week, The Royal Irish Academy and A Novel Idea are giving away 1 signed copy of Ballyshannon/Béal Átha Seanaidh: Irish Historic Towns Atlas, no. 32 by Angela Byrne, published by RIA.
A spectacular #IrishBookWeek as it included a visit to @bridge_books_dromore where it is the final day of 20per cent sale on Irish books such as these two gems

My next Irish book is yet to be decided - though, with the week ahead, #Dracula by #BramStoker is one of the contenders. (I miss these Penguin editions).
Stoker married Florence Balcombe in 1878. Oscar Wilde also had his eye on her.
Today's #IrishBookWeek prompt is: Share an Irish book you are going to read next📚☘
Going for a classic next week for Halloween: Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873). "Pre-dating Dracula by twenty-six years, Carmilla is the original vampire story, steeped in sapphic sexual tension and gothic romance."
A warm cream background with a small photo of author Paddy Donnelly, and the cover of his work Badger Books. A white text box with dark blue text reads: "Bookshops are very special and magical places to me. One of my absolute favourite bookshops to visit is Halfway Up the Stairs in Greystones. I'm always amazing at the personal service their knowledgeable staff give to their customers. I've been there a few times to paint on their front window; I had the pleasure of eavesdropping as their staff chat with both children and grown-ups, and deliver amazingly custom reading recommendations. When you write and illustrate picture books, you usually populate them with little details from your life that are important to you. As Halfway Up the Stairs have been so supportive to me in my career, I managed to slip the bookshop into the background of an illustration in Badger Books."
We 💛 bookshops: special and magical places...
As the #IrishBookWeek festivities continue, we’re delighted to have author Paddy Donnelly join us to share what makes bookshops feel brilliant for him 📖✨

#IrishBookWeek | Day 7: Share an Irish Book you are going to read next
Next on our reading list is For and Against a United Ireland by journalists Fintan O’Toole and Sam McBride. The prospect of Irish unification is now stronger than ever since partition in 1921.
#IrishBookWeek is a fab excuse to shine the light on one of our Irish illustrators - Andy Hamilton.
We (and teachers/children) love his illustrations because they’re so full of attitude i.e. perfect for our fully decodable Reading Stars Phonics books (also full of attitude!).
We had a wonderful evening with #IrishBookWeek ambassador @sheilawriter.bsky.social last night. Sheila chatted openly and warmly with @mikephilpott.bsky.social
and spent time signing and posing for photos with her army of fans! It was just lovely to be in her company ♥️
A collage of books featured in the article on an orange background. Text says "11 moving books about grief, love and loss".
Author @oonaf.bsky.social's This Interim Time (@lilliputpress.bsky.social) is a poignant meditation on memory, family, and the brief windows of life we share with those we love.
This #IrishBookWeek, Oona joins us to share some of her favourite books about grief.

A book set in #NorthernIreland
Call My Brother Back, by Michael McLaverty. A writer who probably isn't as well known as he deserves to be. The book opens on Rathlin, though the bulk of the story takes place in Belfast.
Today's #IrishBookWeek prompt is: Share a book set in Northern Ireland📚☘
The fragmentary nature of the Evangelical Protestant community in the early '90s might not be an obvious backdrop for a gripping novel but The Raptures was pitch-perfect, absolutely adored it.
This new book (written by a customer's son) is a clarion call against complacency🏳️🌈📚☘
#IrishBookWeek
It's Irish Book Week & today's prompt is:
- a book set in Northern Ireland
so I chose Factory Girls by #MichelleGallen a novel I loved as much as her debut Big Girl,Small Town.
#FactoryGirls won the Comedy Women in Print Prize UK/Ireland
