Thank you for valuing us and our booky contribution to your community over the years.

Beginning today and running until Oct 3rd, if you spend €20 in the shop, you will be entered into a draw to win a 6 month book subscription. This is our bespoke service where we post to you a book a month. Not just any book- but books based on your taste and preferences - unique to you and for you.

We feel slightly older (sshhh cheap seats) but enormously grateful.

Where are the Kings by Donal Ryan is out today.

We talk about many thinks when we talk about books but can I just say that this is beautifully produced and designed book Penguin Books Ireland

The look of the object is very important as we all know we judge all the books by their covers all of the time.

Oh and we have signed copies too of these lovely books.

Conversations on Books is back!

This will be our eighth event and we have had lively and engaging discussions.

This time though, we are doing something a little different...we want to know about your favourite books and authors.

Do you have:
1. A favourite living author?
2. A favourite classic?
3. An author you think the world should know about?

You tell us yours and we will tell you ours.

A favourites session.

Thanks as always to Mustard Design - Vanessa O'G for her amazing design talent and to The Dock πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ for hosting.
