Best Social Media at #GIBA26 tonight.
The only award where the acceptance speech is immediately followed by "Sorry, I have to post this.” 🏆📲
Cheering for everyone who makes brands feel human, keeps the comments kind & somehow finds time to eat canapés while uploading a reel & holding a glass!
Nights like this are why we love having a bookshop.
Write Stuff filled Chapters with stories, songs and serious heart. Huge thanks to Brush Shiels, John O’Donnell and Ciaran Moran, and to the indefatigable Steve O’Toole for hosting. 📚🎶✨
There’s a Best Social Media prize at #GIBA26 tonight & I’m rooting for the person who:
✅ posted
✅ tagged
✅ didn’t typo
✅ still has 12% battery left. 🏆📱
Extra marks for anyone who had the foresight to bring a battery bank!
Only single unit retailer & first bookshop to make the shortlist - but not our night tonight! Congratualations Insomnia Coffee - you do make the most scrumptious hot chocolate & your stores in Kells & Navan are a delight! #GIBA26

Back at the store, we are gutted to be missing our monthly Write Stuff spoken (and sung) word night with this months guests the mighty Brush Shiels, Ciaran Moran & John O’Donnell, hosted by the endlessly energetic Steve O’Toole - oh to be able to be in 2 places at once!

Big night at Chapters: we are genuinely honoured to be at the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards #GIBA26, shortlisted in the Retail & E-Commerce category (sponsored by TikTok Shop). We’re alongside brilliant Irish businesses & feeling both proud & slightly stunned.

F1 is back, and so are the people saying ‘tyre deg’ at brunch. 🏁
We’ve a pit wall of reads at Chapters (Bernie Collins, Susie Wolff, Ted Kravitz, Luke Smith, Günther Steiner…).
I worked on Formula 1 video games - the most gloriously feral & exact fans of all time!

It is the first World Book Day in the last 20+ years that I haven't had to make a costume & so I totally forgot it was happening! Instead I am going to post books and poems ... or maybe books that have been recently signed ... think I will do that! #WorldBookDay

Unfortunately we have just been notified that Forest Issac Jones is unwell and unable to travel to Ireland.
We wish him a speedy recovery and hope that we get to listen to him soon.
Thank you! Hope you have a lovely day!
