Days Without End by Sebastian Barry ~ The Costa Book Award Winner for 2016
‘Written in such a delicate manner and with such a beautiful turn of phrase, this love story is a unique one to be part of. A brief glimpse into a world where the horrors of society lie side by side with love.’
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
Finally its THAT Wednesday, the day I get to launch my new feature concentrating on Irish Writers.
Since I set up Swirl and Thread last year I have wanted to run a weekly feature that would concentrate on the wonderful writers that are homegrown in Ireland (mainly!!!). I didn’t feel I was established enough to host all these fantastic folk or that they would be willing to write a post for me…but I was wrong.
Ireland has always had the tradition of being a nation of storytellers and talkers. When I raised the possibility of running with this feature I was absolutley astounded and blown away by the feedback and enthusiasm of many, many Irish writers. I am delighted to say that it’s a booked out feature until the summer with places filling up for the early Autumn.
I approached Caimh McDonnell ‘pleading and begging‘ him to kickstart it 🙂 …and he obliged with this wonderful post on ‘How Irish is Too Irish?’
Without further ado the warm up act will move over and make way for the comedian, writer and all around funnyman that is Caimh McDonnell….
I am feeling very honoured and excited to have been nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award by fellow book bloggers Ronnie Turner and Caryl over at Mrs Bloggs Books
It’s the first time my blog has been nominated for anything so to be nominated twice is very exciting indeed 🙂
Now there are a few bits of housekeeping to be done before I can raise my award high so let me continue…
