"Seeing this remarkable movie reminded me that we cannot look away from real-life tragedies"
"I rarely read the blurb on the back of a novel before I open it. I know this is weird. Because I'm an author in my other life, there is always a stack of new titles teetering on my bedside locker, vying for my attention."
"I'm often sent copies of books before they are published and I like to support debut authors, ­especially Irish ones, when I can. Then there are all the other books that people recommend to me in passing, or I see getting hype online, that I'm forever loading on´to my Kindle."
A remarkable movie can remind people that they must not look away from real-life tragedies. The blurb on the back of a novel is often not read before opening a book. A constant stack of new titles frequently teeters on a bedside locker, vying for attention. Advance copies are often received before publication, and there is a preference for supporting debut Irish talent when possible. Additional books come from passing recommendations and online hype. Many of these books are continually loaded onto a Kindle. The mix of advance copies and digital additions creates an ever-growing to-read list.
