📚🌸 Books belong on the street. Outside Quay Books, a new planter from Limerick City and County Council is bringing colour to the pavement. We've added a little poetry beside it, celebrating the translations of Seamus Heaney, while our outdoor book table continues to attract passing readers. One of the great pleasures of Mediterranean cities is the way cafés, bookshops and public spaces flow together. We like to think a little of that spirit is finding its way onto this corner of Limerick. Come browse, linger, and discover something unexpected. #limerick @moranjohna1 #bookshops

Every shelf holds unexpected discoveries. Sometimes a book is worth taking home for a single paragraph, a single sentence, or a single idea.

In the books that I love, the authors seem animated by such empathy that even the most insignificant existences, the most ordianry feelings, are clothed in magic, writes Leïla Slimani.
