  • BOOKMARKS: Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Irish authors

    1 month ago | wvia.org | Sarah Scinto

    Anyone who has ever been to Dublin knows how much Ireland treasures its writers. Look no further than the statues dotting the city - Oscar Wilde lounges in St. Stephen’s Green, James Joyce stands on Earl Street and waits inside The Temple Bar and George Bernard Shaw has a place in Ireland’s National Gallery of Art. With St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, here are even more Irish authors to consider.

The writings of women are more widely available and accessible than ever before.

Book sales in the romance genre, from rom-coms to romantasy, have been on the rise in recent years, powered by enthusiastic readers across social media. Listening to these recommendations, it’s easy to understand why.

    The NEPA Bird Gang’s flock started in a parking lot. “We would go down to the Linc (Lincoln Financial Field) and start hosting our own tailgates since about 2010,” said Joe Rodano, Bird Gang president.
