Maeve will also look at trends in the industry and whether big movies like 'Hamnet' and 'Wuthering Heights' give the books that inspired the films a boost in sales.
With Valentine's this weekend, Mary spoke to florist Martina O'Brien of Casia Flowers in Tramore, about the boost in trade at this time of year.
And Waterford City based Eimear Brazil has seen a rapid growth in followers to her social media platform 'The Kitchen Shift'. She'll explain what it is and how she's been able to turn it into a business.
