It's on Sunday, and I hate to generalise, but...

MEN ARE HARD TO BUY FOR!

I said what I said 💅

With that in mind, I've put some suggestions together in their own little category on the website 'Father's Day Inspiration' to give you some help, should you need it. I mean, how many socks does one man need?

Don't forget to use INDIE at the checkout to get 10% off this week!

Well. This is...unexpected

Apparently I has been nominated for a Business Woman of the Year award.
I'm assuming one of three things happened:

1. Somebody was drinking.
2. Somebody hit the wrong button.
3. There is someone somewhere who is genuinely smashing it, and she's currently wondering why a bookshop owner in Dromore has got her nomination.

To make matters even more confusing, I'm actually Lesley Price, not Leslie Price. Perhaps there is a Leslie Price out there being an absolutely phenomenal business woman and it's all got terribly mixed up 😂

Anyway, if you'd like to continue this magnificent piece of hilarity, you can vote using the link in stories and comments.

Every vote brings us all one step closer to finding out whether this was a clerical error, a practical joke, or evidence that the judges must never actually met me.

Genuine thanks to everyone who has already voted.

I remain deeply suspicious of the whole thing 😂

You can mix and match Adult, Young Adult, and children's. It's up to you!

Scroll to slide 3 to see all the amazing authors from the island of Ireland whose books you can include!

P.S. These bags are such incredible quality that they're totes able to carry lots of books...

Last night, I had the pleasure of taking some of my volunteers out for food and a drink to say thank you for all their hard work during the festival.

Not everyone was able to make it, but I want to extend my sincere thanks to every volunteer who gave their time, energy, enthusiasm, and support throughout the week.
The festival simply wouldn't happen without them.

It was great to hear feedback from those who joined us, share ideas, and discuss a few tweaks for next year as we start looking ahead to making the festival even better.

A huge thank you to for the fantastic food and great space for us to gather.

Roll on 2027!
