Manchán Magan in Kennys

Manchán Magan in Kennys

Ní bheidh a leitheid arís ann is an overused phrase, but it could not be more apt than with Manchán Magan. He would tell you a story about the origin of the phrase, and why it's used more in certain parts of the country than others. He crammed so much into his 55 years, /1

A copy of the book Conversation With The Sea by Hugo Hamilton is held aloft above a choppy sea crashing against rocks in a bay with grey skies and lush green grass alongside.

I haven’t been able to read properly for months. Poor attention span! But I’ve missed it. This beautiful book though - read with the sound of the sea crashing onto the County Clare coast is reeling me back in! First Hugo Hamilton for me & it’s gorgeous. Thanks Hugo and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

Thank you for ordering with us at Kennys Adam!

Delivery to Sweden from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social. Great to support Irish businesses (and learn about what Ireland can do in the climate crisis) even when living abroad. Looking forward to reading @thinkorswim.bsky.social.

Proud to say I haven’t bought anything from that online monster in over ten years - least of all books. I’m a particular fan of @kennysbookshop.bsky.social 😉

Hardcover (Kennys Bookshop limited edition) copy of the novel, Conversation with the Sea, by Hugo Hamilton, set against a pillow with a white pillowcase with various whales printed on it. The book cover is a beautiful moody seascape painting by Helen Glassford, I think in oil.

Tonight’s reading, with appropriate whale pillow backdrop. Excited to dig into this. @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

Thanks for your order Craig :)

A bumper delivery from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social today - thanks guys! #BookSky
