Things We Used to Know: Lessons From School You Wish You Could Remember by John Burke. Fab! Every home would benefit from. My favourite subject was Geography so I read that 1st! Do you know all the rivers, mountains & counties of Ireland? Loved the mythology & world topics too!

This slim volume for teens (and their parents), published by @Gill_Books is coming out next week. It's been shortlisted for an @IrishBookAward if you're someone who likes to exercise their franchise - irishbookawards.ie/vote/ - just saying.

Is there a way of saying "sure look" as Gaeilge? Or "it is what it is"? I can't think of a comparable phrase ... though my neighbour used to say "well, I've never seen hands on an ass before" - I don't know why, it made no sense other than he was finished talking to you 🤷‍♀️
A promotional poster titled “IRISH LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION TEST” with the large headline “SURE LOOK ...” and an orange speech bubble reading “THE GREAT IRISH PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITION.” It includes the lines “The Greeks had Socrates. The Romans had Seneca. The Irish have... ‘Sure look.’” plus a small cover of Colm O’Regan’s book “Tipping Away” and event details for Colm O’Regan x Sharon Mannon, 29th Oct, 6.30pm, Chapters Bookstore, and “FREE EVENT • BOOK ON EVENTBRITE.”

If you want world-class sportswriting you’ll love this 📕 by @vincent_hogan, the undisputed 👑 of similes. A lament for a job much changed & a paean to those still upholding it amidst all the ‘data’. Relieved to 👀 I’m not alone either with recurring ‘deadline’ nightmares😳🤓

They say never meet your heroes. I was lucky enough to work with one of mine! @Vincent_Hogan is one of Ireland’s greatest ever sports journalists. His memoir - ‘The Lost Sportswriter’ @Gill_Books - is just out & promises 2B every bit as good as the cover. Congrats Vincent 🙌

Spent last few days in company of giants. Never met Sebastian Barry, but his words chime with a genius of compassion and empathy. @Vincent_Hogan is a dear friend. One who has conquered the Himalayas of introspection and erudition and wisdom. The Lost Sportswriter is perfect

We were terribly sad to hear the news of Stephen Walker’s death. It was a privilege to publish his books, and everyone across the Gill teams loved working with him. Moreover, Stephen was a gentleman, incredibly warm and great company. We are thinking of his family at this time.
