A short week after Easter (I could get used to 4-day weeks),but so many lovely visitors & books bought. It's great to see people stocking up for May. Seven of this week’s #TopTenBestsellingTitles are #DromoreBookFestival guests! Thanks for the support and for buying tickets. Have you got yours yet?

#SpéirGhorm #IrishBookWeek #Day8 📚💙
An Irish Book I discovered at a bookshop event.
I picked up #TheGhostLimb by @clairemitchell.bsky.social at the #DromoreBookFestival - organised by the legendary @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social. Claire was joined onstage by @lindaervine.bsky.social that night.
I've just realised that I only updated Bluesky on two days of #DromoreBookFestival (too many social media platforms for me to cope with). So, here's a little synopsis of the whole week, and what a week!
Thanks to everyone who took part and who came along! See you next year to do it all again!
Linda Ervine and Claire Mitchell at #DromoreBookFestival, talking to Tara Mills about 1798, integrated education, seditious chalk marks, Irish language, Betsy Gray's cottage, haters and history lessons. What a great festival this had been. Congrats @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social. 📷 Stuart Bailie

These two ladies are an absolute inspiration, they have given me so much hope.
Thank you to @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social for organising this, I have NEVER enjoyed a book-related event so much.
Day 2 #DromoreBookFestival update. Donal Ryan is a god. Donal Ryan is one of the best people you could meet. Donal Ryan is sheer class. Everyone had the best night and queued for ages just to speak to him & have their books signed. Thanks so much to Donal for travelling all this way to be with us!
I’ll be in Dromore Cathedral as part of the #DromoreBookFestival tomorrow evening to mark the launch of The One You Least Suspect at 7.30pm with the brilliant Stuart Neville and
