More rare signings from the Oracle of Secondhand - David!

Books Dear Friends, books! A selection of gems from the Oracle of Secondhand - David! First editions & rare signings!

This is tonight!!

Vintage Christie, rainy morning bus to the city... Finally getting around to dipping into this @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social 🔍🧐

So himself indoors was away abroad in that their Germany where he stumbled across an old cigarette vending machine which dispensed art instead of cigarettes. The project is called Kunstautomaten and was developed by Lars Kaiser in 2001. The art comes in little cigarette packs.

Tomorrow evening’s event in store - this will be a fascinating conversation - tickets are free and all are welcome. www.eventbrite.ie/e/fintan-dru...

We know nothing we can say or post helps at this stage - but for all the students starting exams today, parents & caregivers worrying for them & teachers crossing their fingers - GOOD LUCK!! Don’t forget St. Joseph of Cupertino & St Jude if you are that way inclined!

Read this during the rain yesterday- unexpected & massively enjoyable. Quirky & great to be able to read something in one sitting … & apparently I read it with a smile on my face!

Look what I saw on the desk of Secondhand yesterday!

Just seen in the other place - wow: How to Listen - James Clews

If you were in Arboretum today and your friend escaped … we have him safe in store! Let me know how we can get you reunited!

The mighty Ciara Geraghty - writer of sharp, funny, witty books that make you want to both curl up & become lost AND call your friends to chat/vent/laugh has written a children’s book - Wanda Broom & I think I might borrow a child to read it to!

More forthcoming events … free tickets on www.eventbrite.ie/d/ireland--k...

Signing! Andrew Meehan - Best Friends- a total delight of a book!

I wrote about Saturday’s event in store - it was personal - I had a child who wanted to be read to, but wasn’t reaching for books himself & it was breaking my heart … & spirit!! An amazing librarian - Imelda & @darrenshan.com cured both! chaptersbookstore.com/blogs/news/t...

Saturday was an incredibly special day for us all in store - a reminder of the power of one writer to inspire. It is a disservice to the craft & dedication of writers to say they are 'born', in a similar way it is a disservice to readers not to recognise that they are 'made' & 'maintained'!

I had a fab time in Chapters Bookstore Dublin yesterday, with 110 fans. After a reading and Q&A, I signed for almost 4 and a half hours! For a fuller report of the day, and info about where I'm coming next on tour, click here: darrenshan.com/news/chapter... @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social

I attended the @darrenshan.com event at @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cirque du Freak - and got to give Darren his very own Madam Octa!

Today is the day!! The mighty @darrenshan.com will be ‘live’ at noon!! We are still open & trading as usual! Huge buzz & excitement in store!

Yesterday’s mood … hoping today is better … 😂

For picture books, I think a lot of the pacing comes from the page turns and the reveals each turn gives. #kidlitchat
