Some days, you get post that makes you roar with laughter. This was me today when a beautiful finished copy of Blood Like Mine by @stuartneville arrived. Look what's written inside! You, too, can get a signed, sprayed edge copy but without the cheek ๐๐

I'm beyond angry to hear this. My students have got so much from Justin's work, and lucky ones have gone to study with him on the Queer History MA. We're losing things that will not easily be rebuilt
@ACarpenDigital How much of it is just down to the expectation that girls will wear the skirt option? Tricky for climbing trees. The original tweet suggests that the report (which I have to admit I have not read) says it is worst for primary school age girls.
@BBCRadio4@TheNewsQuiz So good to hear a show recorded in Belfast. We played the "how many jokes will go over the heads of the English side of our family".
@ComedyClub4Kids@CambJunction The girl's and I went to see the kids comedy club at The Junction years ago and really enjoyed it. They still quote one of the acts.
I've been offered use of a space in Dromore, which can seat 60/70 people. If any authors or publishers would like/be willing to hold a launch or do a Q&A event, I'd be so happy to accommodate.
I know I'm not in a big city, but please don't forget about us culchie booksellers!
Need a gift for a book lover but not sure what they've read? I can make you up a little book gift box with bookish bits. Suitable for all budgets. I promise I won't even eat the chocolate...
