Some independent Irish bookshops you can support rather than Amazon. And most offer free postage in 🇮🇪too.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Old Ghosts made it to number 4 on new releases of LGBT+ mysteries on Amazon 🥰

It may not be a bestseller but it just makes me happy to know how many people reached out to read it (and will hopefully fall in love with Saoirse) ❤️📕

I'm reading "We are legion (We are Bob)" and loving it! 🤩

Janina Franck - "Old Ghosts" out now 📕🔥💅! @xilaya.bsky.social · 5d

I guess the terminology changed at some point? 😅
Calling it 4th person was new to me too, but I did find a bunch of sites talking about it when I googled it earlier. 🤷‍♀️

I'm very curious to see how it's used in action! Cool idea to make your story stand out 😊

I hadn't heard of it either but googled it and apparently it's when the story is told from the point of view of a collective group, as in "we" and "us"

Personally prefer the normal book smell (I love the scent of old books in particular) but the idea of an artificial fragrance in the pages.... Kinda puts me off 🙃

Reader Reviews for Janina Franck's "Old Ghosts":

- If a fun, badass, lesbian crime boss being a mastermind is what you're looking for, then this is perfect for you.
- Gritty, character-driven, and the start of a series I definitely want to continue.
- I loved how each character felt very distinct from one another. Not a single character felt one dimensional and they all felt very real.

Saoirse smiled her best cheerful smile, raising her hands in resignation and slowly advancing toward them with carefree steps. “Now, boys, that’s no way to ask a lady to have tea.” As expected, they barely responded with more than a low growl. “All I want to do is talk to Garrison.

My head is all over the place this morning - went from trying to book flights to completely abandoning the process mid-way to make some toast - then entirely forgetting that I did that and started to organize the bunny box only to remember that 30 min ago I made myself tea which is now cold 😵‍💫
