@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialMeet INKY! 👻 Scaly, spiky, smelly & created by our young creepy, creature makers yesterday!
Oisín McGann had children utterly engrossed in drawing & learning how illustrations tell stories.
FREE workshop again Sat 17 Oct, 11–12.30. Eventbrite or DM!
Thanks @dublincityoflit.bsky.social 🧡
@susanlanigan.bsky.socialReposted by @chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialA pleasure to be there for my shortlisted novel The Planter’s Daughter and to meet @booknannyeditor.bsky.social
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialWhy is it so difficult to walk across the Irish countryside?
Lovely to welcome @timhannigan.bsky.social to Chapters to sign The Pathless Land, his 678km journey exploring Ireland's lost footpaths, land history and belonging.
Thank you, Tim! 💚
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialI absolutely love Martina Devlin's writing. Edith, Charlotte & now Glorious Monsters, taking us into Mary Shelley's extraordinary world. How lovely to have Martina pop in to sign copies on her way to teach at the Irish Writers Centre. Ireland really is a remarkable little literary island. 💚📚
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialWhat a night! 📚🏆 We were delighted to host and sponsor the 10th anniversary CAP Awards on Friday, celebrating Ireland's independently published authors while supporting Aware. Huge congratulations to everyone involved and special thanks to the wonderful Carolann Copland!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialSpent yesterday watching Malory Towers with my daughter, so Sheena Wilkinson calling in to sign her Fernside books feels wonderfully appropriate! Boarding-school stories really do cross generations. Midnight feasts, friendships, mischief and rebellion. Signed copies now instore & online! 📚❤️
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialEva Pau arrived in Ireland at just one month old & grew up playing in the aisles of her family’s Asia Market in Dublin - now she has written her first cookbook, with 80 approachable recipes from across Asia. Preorder & you could win a hamper of Eva’s favourite Asian snacks and drinks!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialI couldn’t believe how quiet the kids were & how intensely they concentrated!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialI was taking notes! I now know how to make a character look whiffy & scaly AND lively!
@oisinmcgann.bsky.socialReposted by @chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialI did a kids’ illustration workshop in @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social in Dublin this morning, and as I do sometimes, I took suggestions from the kids to help make a monster. So blame them.
I’ll be doing another workshop next Saturday at 11am, so feel free to drop in (ideally with your kids).
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialYes! They feel so precious & I have read books I didn’t intend to just because they were folios!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialSome editions may cause alarming levels of nostalgia ... An Abundance of Katherines I think was my favourite 💕💕
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialJohn Green is having a rather wonderful moment with his adult writing, so a reminder that Secondhand currently has LOTS of his YA 📚 Paper Towns, Turtles All the Way Down, An Abundance of Katherines, Let It Snow, The Fault in Our Stars all snug in the same little unit.
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialIt has been a VERY good few weeks for Folio Society books in Secondhand. 📚 Chaucer, Tacitus, Gibbon, Burke, Josephus, Shakespeare, Restoration London, the Ottoman Empire, Arab history, Greek myths… and this is only a selection. Beautiful books are dangerous things in a bookshop.
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialRock ’n’ roll came calling! 🎸 Dónal Gallagher popped in to sign Edged in Blue, his account of life with his brother Rory, from Irish showbands to the world’s stages - touring adventures, music history and a brother’s perspective. Signed copies instore & online 💚🎸
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialThey are FULL of lesser known details!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialRESEARCHERS, LOOK OUT 👀 A huge stack of Dublin Historical Record back issues has just landed! Published by the Old Dublin Society since 1938, these are a treasure trove of properly researched history - trams, norse Dublin, railways, old streets, churches, printers, policing, maps - just to start!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialShe is a dote!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.social🧩 As the evenings draw in, we're bringing back the joy of the jigsaw! Our tables are overflowing with gorgeous literary puzzles. Remember when everyone had a jigsaw board on the dining table? Corners first, edges next, 1,000 pieces a major achievement! Feeling very nostalgic for cosy evenings!
@chaptersbookstore.bsky.socialDIVERGENT FANS! 💜 Veronica Roth's THE SIXTH FACTION is here & would you LOOK at those sprayed edges?! Pink, violet, blue and birds in flight. Absolutely gorgeous. A new, alternate-universe reimagining of the Divergent series AND a beautiful special edition!
