I buy books faster than I read them. It’s not hoarding, it’s strategic backlog management.

What’s the opening line of a #poem that always stuck with you?

For me, it’s #desiderata as it transports me back to the last days of secondary school.

“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”

By no means my favorite but eternally memorable.

The one we *all* really wanted on #RSD25. On repeat now! 💙

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Proud to be alive in this great country, 365 days a year. 🇮🇪

The kids got this and I started reading the first page…

I will now need to pretend that I haven’t read it all yet! 😂

I enjoyed this more than a mid-40s man probably should. Or maybe not. 💚

Great message on finding the “right” book for you by @stephenmangan.bsky.social too

Discovering @dereklandy.bsky.social’s Skullduggery Pleasant for the first time at the moment. Jaysus, it’s deadly and I’m in my 40s!

Delighted to see there’s loads more to read. Shout out to @fingal.ie library in Rush for recommending local authors! 🙌

Currently reading Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler. It’s a lovely read, relatable and thoughtful.

Picked up having been sold by the recommendation on the BBC Show, Between The Covers with Sarah Cox.

#FirstPost alert! Have essentially been socially inactive over the last two years but miss the old days of fun & friendly Irish social. 🇮🇪

Giving this gaff a go as a result of @rickoshea.bsky.social’s recommendation.

Here for #books and #writing help mostly as everything else feels flammable! 🔥
