After an awful yet lovely week, I鈥檓 blown away by your support. Drawing a line under the nastiness so no
#TopTenBestsellingTitles this week (you can guess 5 of them, and I dont need more hate). Instead, here's Tilly and Maisy who called for cuddles. Thank you all so much x
Today's #IrishBookADay prompt is 'Share a book you want to read from the An Post Irish Book Awards Shortlist'.
My choice is All Them Dogs by Djamel White.
#IrishBookWeek
I'm on catch up with #IrishBookADay for #IrishBookWeek, so here's yesterday's book for 'Share a Book set in Northern Ireland'. I've chosen the fab debut, She and I, from the wonderful human @_HanKing!
You know it will be a good day when a fellow Irish Book Award Shorlistee drops in & squiggles on his books! It was lovely to see @paddydonnelly again. Congrats to Paddy for three nominations in the Irish Book Awards!
(My hair was giving 'hedge backwards' vibes, hence the 'hat')
I was a fun sponge yesterday, but today I have GOOD news! I鈥檝e made the final in the @IrishBookAward! I'm over the moon to represent NI/The North and to be in such wonderful company. I've no notions of winning, I'm just delighted to be in the final. I'm going to need a new frock!
If this wasn't bad enough, now I'm being accused of doing it myself because, apparently the handwriting is the same as the note I have on the door about not bringing drinks inside. Yes, I wanted the expense of installing cctv and having the door repainted馃檮
I'm officially done.
And so it begins. This is what I arrived to this morning. If there are any positives to be taken from it, at least they can spell.
I could still cry, though.
Seriously, look at this face.
Do you realise how hard it is to leave him every day?
But, he needs fed so I must struggle on, guilty and sad 馃槶
Today's prompt in #IrishBookADay is 'Share an Irish book that you bought in a local bookshop.'
(I did put money in the till, honest guv!)
If you haven't read The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes, and it's sequel Below the Big Blue Sky, you're missing two absolute gems!

I wanted to let you know that for all books by Irish Authors/ Illustrators/ Publishers, I have specifically chosen Irish booksellers as their acquisition routes in Wytchwood Manor. I adore the work you all do and you are very much one of my handpicked Indies!
Day 4 #IrishBookWeek and the prompt is 'Share an Irish Book who read recently'. The wonderful Stations by Louise Kennedy is the perfect choice and a perfect read.

Just a quick heads-up that I will be opening later tomorrow (Wed 21st) as I have a funeral to attend. See you from 12pm.

I鈥檓 not sure if I ever said to you, but I will do now: My sister bought me books for my b鈥檇ay and they were sent to me all beautifully wrapped. She never buys from Amazon.She bought from you. I love you both for delightful presents! X
A video has popped up on my Instagram where an influencer is encouraging people to *checks notes* buy a jumper to wear over your shoulders.
The world has officially gone mad.
