@bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social Loved this funny, heart warming book by @manvsbaby.bsky.social about the emerging relationship between a grumpy old man who has lost his soul mate & an energetic 6 year old boy finding his way in life. Lots of laugh out loud moments from the 1st chapter.

On #InternationalWomensDay, I want to show you the amazing female writers, presenters & hosts who will be taking part in this year's #DromoreBookFestival. If I do say it myself, it's a great line-up (before we even mention the men!) for a tiny bookshop in Dromore! www.ticketsource.co.uk/bridge-books

ie turn it into a commercial venture and privatise this public space. Yallaa needs us to tell Belfast City Council how important their work is. It shouldn't have to prove its value in this way but we can help. Please complete and share this. It would mean the world to these great people.

We don't need a chatgpt caricature to show people who we are and what we do. So, here's me, unfiltered and unashamedly trying to sell books for a living. Although, tbf AI would probably have fixed my wonky fringe 🙈

Loved this read ... A difficult subject treated in a compassionate way. The way Roisín O'Donnell details Ciara’s inner voice, her fears and self doubt is powerful. Heart breaking but hopeful. Another great recommendation from @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social

What a great book She and I by Hannah King expertly weaves a web of suspense that keeps you hooked from the start. If you love a psychological thriller this is a must-read. My 2nd read by Hannah King & I cant wait for her next book. Thanks to @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social for the recommendation!

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

A powerful story by @erickawaller1.bsky.social about grief, love, family, friendship, human connection, life & death. The book will take you on an emotional roller coaster - make you laugh, cry & hope. Thank you @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social for another superb recommendation.
