This cosy village bookshop is running fun in-store pop-ups throughout June
We love a poke ’round a local bookshop.
In Ballincollig, there are even more reasons to visit the town’s newest addition, Leaf & Bower. The shop on Main Street, West End is hosting a number of author events and fun moments throughout June.
Leona Forde, the author of the Milly McCarthy books, will visit the shop to share her third book The Sports Day Shambles this Saturday, June 1st at noon.
Leona, who teaches English and history in Kinsale, wrote Milly McCarthy for her daughter, who wanted a Wimpy Kid-style story set in Ireland.
On Thursday, June 6th at 6.30pm, Cork author Lynda Marron will drop by for an evening chat about her debut novel Last Chance in Paris, the story of a Cork couple who take a trip to Paris to revive their marriage and the characters they meet during their time there.
Michelle Teahan, a medical scientist from Coachford will visit Leaf & Bower to launch her second novel Knock, Knock, a thriller, on Friday, June 14th at 6.30pm.
