Only just realised earlier that Book Twenty Four – Sarah Lotz’s excellent “The Three” is only out in shops from today.

2 days ago by therickoshea So, finished. I feel genuinely ashamed that I've never read Niall Williams before. This is out in a few weeks and set in a tiny village in Clare as rural electrification arrives. It's funny, insightful, gorgeously full of language and, in Faha, he creates somewhere as vivid as Joyce's Dublin or Kevin Barry's Bohane. It was a totally unexpected joy and I was bowled over by it. #bookstagram #ROSBC

3 days ago by therickoshea Worth making the trip out from wherever you are, or even from wherever you are in the country! The @immaireland Freud/Yeats exhibition on at the moment is impressive if you like them both as much as I do...
3 days ago by therickoshea It's rare enough that we pose in pictures together when we're out, rarer still that one gets used. Must have been a slow news month @vip .magazine
