New from @theobrienpress.bsky.social by #paddydonnelly - so good it cheered up a teenager facing state exams! It’s a celebration of creativity and kindness, packed with visual jokes. You don’t have to be Irish or a badger to enjoy it!

New from @littleislandbooks.bsky.social by @daveruddenwrites.bsky.social - a bit scary, a lot funny, handy phonetic hints for pronouncing the undead evil’s name - worth the effort for the thrills! You don’t have to be Irish (or even know an Irish person although we’re EVERYWHERE!) to enjoy it!

I’d like to congratulate all the shortlisted individual booksellers on their well-deserved recognition - have a wonderful evening! I was thrilled to bring home the #nibbie to our book-licking dog, Otto, last year - he hopes the 2025 trophy gets similar amounts of love! #britishbookawards

Like many, I’ve had some dreadful years recently, but not 2024! I graduated from TCD (M.Phil children’s literature), returned as a PhD student, won a Nibbie, celebrated with amazing colleagues, and saw Ireland win rowing gold in Paris. Years like this don’t often happen, I’ll treasure the memories.

Otto and I are utterly delighted that Fia and the Last Snow Deer is @thetimes.com Children’s Book of the Week. Dermot Flynn’s artistry in illustration is the perfect complement to Eilish Fisher’s artistry with words. An outstanding and unique verse novel I would recommend to any/everyone.
