Today I had my last World Book Day event – in O’Mahony’s Bookshop in Limerick.
Busloads of interested and enthusiastic readers arrived, and it was a big success.
‘Hi’ to all the children from these schools:
St. Mary’s BNS,
Christ The King
St. John’s Infant
Scoil an Spiorad Naomh
Newport Convent Primary
Scoil Mhathair De
Donoughmore
An extra-big ‘hi’ to the girls whose schools weren’t coming, but who persuaded their mums to bring them anyway. I hope it was worth it.
Huge thanks to Pam and all the staff in O’Mahonys for yet another really well-organised event.
No more events for a while, so it’s back to editing the sequel to Eva’s Journey.
As everyone knows, last Thursday was World Book Day.
To mark the event, I went to Crumlin Childrens Hospital, to visit the school there. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to meet the children who are doing so well by going to school, even when they’re not feeling the best. So ‘hi’ to all the great children I met, and a big thanks to Mary for inviting me.

After Crumlin, I went to Hodges Figgis to sign books, and to admire the beautiful window display of my books – thanks so much, Mary Bridget!
After that (phew) I went to Dubray books in Grafton street, to meet a wonderful group of 3rd class girls, and to listen the amazing scary stories they have been writing. Thanks to Lynn and Helen for setting it all up.
On Monday, I walked the very short distance to Salesians NS in Limerick. There I met the very enthusiastic fifth and sixth classes and their teachers. It was great. Thanks everyone.
spring is here!
World Book Day is on Thursday. I’m marking the occasion by going to visit the children in Our Lady’s hospital in Crumlin. In the afternoon, I’ll be doing a reading in Dubray Books in Grafton Street.
Isn’t this a really cute photo of my niece, Alison?
