I know you don’t normally do this but this is a special Christmas request. My mother has written an amazing book, which we self-published. It is called
“CHORDS – The new Banríon” by K. Quinn Sorel. It is a fiction/fantasy book set in the west of Ireland. It has just the right amount of magic explained through physics and has a great storyline and characters (not my words but those of people who have already read it).
It would be fantastic if you could put this up on your website so maybe people would go check it out. I’m sure you know how hard it is to get published nowadays if your book doesn’t contain vampires, werewolves or the mention of the name Grey. Together, let’s promote Ireland and Irish literature :)
Chords: The New Banrion is available at the Science Gallery, Pearse Street, Dublin, and on Amazon.

Not terribly surprising, in fairness.

Just something he corbelled together.
Corbelled.
Ah forget it.

UCD Students’ Union runs a second hand book shop on campus in Belfield. The College Tribune newspaper found that they had dumped hundreds of books in a skip.
The paper retrieved them and are now giving them out for free. Kinda funny: a students’ union dumping books?
