On March 23rd, 4 days before Ireland went into full lockdown, I started a chat show online - #ShelfAnalysis.

Partly because authors were launching books into a very unknown world with no launches, partly to keep myself sane with every event I had been booked to do cancelled.

I thought it would last as long as restrictions would, a few weeks at best.

And here we are.

This thread is a reminder of the people I& #39;ve spoken to and will be added to at the bottom every time there& #39;s a new episode.

As I type this we have 41 down.

I hope you enjoy.

#ShelfAnalysis Ep. 1 was with the author of the Knights Of The Borrowed Dark series and his upcoming (second!) series of Dr. Who short stories - @d_ruddenwrites:

It& #39;s">https://youtu.be/-2-Z3rCMB... clunky, bear with me!

By the time we got to #ShelfAnalysis Ep. 2 I had moved location (well, my bookshelves make a decent backdrop!) and my guest was crime legend @SpainJoanne:

This">https://youtu.be/3NsxSjqwq... episode may have started the "bringing a drink to the table" tradition...

Ep. 3, again way back in March, and that same week (as I was still doing them daily!), was @sineadgleeson.

Her selections are amazing, of course, and we even talk a little about her editing of The Art Of The Glimpse: https://youtu.be/7zaXPVk9FYk ">https://youtu.be/7zaXPVk9F...
