No, it's not quite time to light the autumn fire 🌞 Our friend @ravenbooks sent a taste of sunshine today (&she didn't even know Éibhleann was in ICU, how's that for bookseller's intuition!). Thank you Louisa, Irish #booksellers are a kind lot but you are remarkable ❤️📚

@katiepia1983 Thanks Katie ❤️

Absolutely up to 90 about a nuclear medicine #scan I have tomorrow, so I rang the hospital with questions. Anxiety totally resolved by the radiographer finishing the call with "OK, Bye, Love you!" 👌😘

Please visit and buy a book or two if you'd like to support us.
Thank you to everyone who has bought books from us over the years, or come to an event in the shop. Thanks for being part of our little dream.

I wish I could stay.
My parents have decided to open the shop when they can, starting from tomorrow when they'll be open from 12ish until 4ish. Opening hours won't be what they were, I hope you all understand why. We will update our opening hours on social media when we can....

[Sceal Eile Books @ScealEileBooks]

and for the last 7 years I've run the shop with my husband Pat. You might also have met our 2 year old daughter Eilbhe behind the counter! We are so sad to say that we have to leave our beautiful shop, but hope you understand why. I have another, harder path to walk down now...

As news spread of how the Covid-19 pandemic would affect our lives, our little bookshop was hit with more awful news. Our co-owner Éibhleann's cancer had returned and she is now terminally ill at 36. Éibhleann (that's me!) opened Scéal Eile Books in 2006 with the help of my dad..
