Join us as we chat with one of your most beloved Bookstagrammers @elaineandthebooks , Elaine Mullane. As a leader of the Banned Books book club, and Stephen King 'We All Float' buddy reads, Elaine deep dives into her love of reading, why she is so impassioned about reading about the experiences of others, and why she thinks books are important places where we find validation about ourselves. We loved catching up with Elaine and we hope that you enjoy our chats as much as we did.

Ever wondered about how much discipline it takes to be a successful writer?

In today’s episode we catch up with Wexford native Carmel Harrington and get to know more about the author behind books such as Beyond Grace’s Rainbow, Every Time a Bell Rings, The Girl From Donegal among others, as well as chatting all about her new book The Lighthouse Secret.

Not only is she an International Bestseller, several books by Carmel Harrington have also been shortlisted for an Irish Book Award. She is a regular on Irish TV screens and radio and has been a guest speaker at Literary events in Ireland, UK and USA. She was also Chair of Wexford Literary Festival for three years. Plus, she has a writing schedule to be very jealous of! It's no wonder she is so successful.

A storyteller with heart and emotion, Carmel's trademark is writing domestic dramas about life's dark and light sides, with relatable characters and twisting plots. If you’re new to this author, you’ll be delighted to know that you don’t need to read Carmel Harrington's books in order. Each book is a standalone that will pull on your heartstrings and, as Carmel’s writing style progresses, keep you guessing!

Other books mentioned in this episode:

- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

They chat about their favourite book to screen/stage adaptations, and which ones they would love to see!In your opinion, what are the best books that became movies (or stage adaptations)?

This chapter sees Claire and Rebecca sit down with fellow Corkonian and indie bookshop owner Fiona from Leaf and Bower.

In their first in-person interview, Claire and Rebecca found a special kind of magic in this, where the tea is flowing, laughs are had, and so many books are discussed. The insight into the background of owning a bookshop is so interesting, and Fiona's recommendations are fantastic.

We hope you enjoy this chat with Fiona. If you're ever in the vicinity, be sure to check out her shop in Ballincollig, Cork. We can assure you that you won’t be disappointed!
