I remember first hearing this song playing over the sound system in a pub in Kinsale. It was so beautiful that I went straight out to buy the album. No one brought out the goosebumps like Sinèad. This is Sinèad with the Chieftains #FactoryGirl https://t.co/0LOEI31tJX

Sinéad O'Connor - I Am Stretched on Your Grave (Official Audio) https://t.co/uJBIBE4epU via @YouTube

I was lucky enough to see her once, in the back room of a Boston music bar after hours. She stood up on a table—she was tiny and she was massive—and sang to us in Irish. RIP

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

A great Irish poet and singer left us today.

She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.

Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.

Rest easy Sinéad.

Third draft of my novel, I find a note scrawled on a chapter that says "make this better." Tempted to remove it and write a neater one.

@TinaMakereti @jeannette_ng This was an insightful and informative article, with sound advice that will inform both my writing and my reading.

@DickinsonMuseum Thanks for sharing!

[Emily Dickinson Museum @DickinsonMuseum]

How great is this gift? Author @LisaCareyWrites sent us pictures of the graphic novel her son Liam illustrated for her birthday, based on the Emily Dickinson poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers."

@janeroper @Apple Putting your ear up to the iPhone is so 2015.

@LibraryThing JD Salinger, Dostoyevsky, Ann Patchett, Pat Conroy, LM Montgomery, CS Lewis. There are more, but I’d like to keep the dinner party small and lively.

@librarythingtim The lapsed Catholic in me agrees that it’s kind of horrible. But it’s almost more honest to embrace the horror and misery, than it is to don pastel hats and sing about the crucifixion as if it was as innocuous as the Easter bunny. I mean, if you believe in any of that.

@DFelsenfeld I’ll be hiding in my house with my books if anyone needs me.
