Our first Book & Bottle of 2025 was an excellent one, loads of you came out to discuss Run to the Western Shore and generally have a very nice time. Run sparked plenty of conversation, we loved the nature writing and landscapes in the book although we weren’t quite convinced about the two main characters. Still a good short read for the festive period.

For January we’ve chosen Wild Horses by Colin Barrett.

‘It’s the biggest weekend of the year and everything is about to change.

In Ballina, the simmering feud between small-time drug-dealer, Cillian English and County Mayo’s law enforcers, Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, spills over into violence and an ugly ultimatum. Soon the reclusive Dev and Cillian’s teenage brother Doll are drawn headlong into the Ferdia’s revenge fantasy. Meanwhile, Doll’s girlfriend Nicky sets out on a feverish mission to save him. Life in this ordinary town will never be the same again…’

Copies in the shop or available via our website now. Get one and come along to our next meet up on Monday 3rd February!

Are your New Year’s resolutions to read more books and drink more wine? Then we’ve got the book club for you! Join us tomorrow evening, 7.30pm at @harveyleonards for our first Book & Bottle of 2025. We’ll be discussing the beautiful Run to the Western Shore by Tim Pears - I really loved this one. If you’re new or you haven’t read it, come anyway. And if you’re doing dry January or just don’t fancy boozing don’t worry, Harvey Leonard’s have many fine non-alcoholic options to see you right. Everyone welcome, new and old members alike! See you tomorrow book and bottlers.
