How Irish booksellers feel about the arrival of Amazon.ie: ‘It’s a very real danger to the industry’. Bookshops offer something that an exclusively online retailer cannot, but they may need support to compete against a corporate giant, writes Tim Groenland www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

This by Anna is out in June and it's brilliant - moving and funny and romantic and really great on being in bands and making music and generally hanging out. You can preorder it here: linktr.ee/oursongbook?...

Finished & loved The Benefactors by @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social Brilliantly told – & constructed – story, with astutely observed character dynamics. Loved the micro chapters where other perspectives get shuffled into the novel. It comes at you from unexpected angles. So many clever choices in it.

What's the appropriate cut off date in January whereby you no longer have to wish someone Happy New Year?! 🙃

I've put together an 'Ireland - Nature & Climate Starter Pack' with just a few of those I feel are working hardest to champion wild nature and a stable climate on this island. Of course, it's very far from comprehensive: I'll be adding to it over time! go.bsky.app/HiM2kaD
