To me, Sally Rooney’s essays have always been vastly, VASTLY superior than her fiction (leave me alone I do not want to debate this) and her most recent one against landlords just further confirms this. irishtimes.com/life-style/20…

Today’s #IrishBookOfTheDay challenge for #IrishBookWeek is the last Irish book you read. Mine was The Bee Sting by Paul Murray - I loved it and will definitely read it again (when I’ve finished all the other books I’ve lined up!) @BooksellingI

One of my favourite parts of #IrishBookWeek is #IrishBookADay - a great way to find new reads! My Next Irish Read is a customer favourite and has been in my TBR pile for months, waiting for the right time. It’s The Moonlight Gardening Club 🌸🌙by @gaffneyamy 📚📚📚

Often when I am rewriting, I think of Rufus Wainwright story of meeting Leonard Cohen for the first time. He found him in his underwear. feeding a little bird that he’d found that had fallen out of the nest. Cohen slipped to his room and returned to greet him in an Armani suit.

"Without a doubt, the most dangerous lie that they have told, is that I somehow boasted about the number of people I killed in Afghanistan." — Prince Harry tells #Colbert, adding that his "words are not dangerous," but the spin on his "words are very dangerous." #Spare

The #FIFAWorldCup captured in one pic by @Dan_Mullan A masterpiece. The vainglorious clown in his sponsored runners. The man it was all about, obliged to don the sponsor's cloak to cover his national shirt. And the smiling benefactor. Sport has gone to hell in a handcart.
