Like the used bookstores Grey Matter Books and The Book Mill, it is a bookstore where one can find all kinds of interesting books, for instance, grammar books, novels written in languages like French, Spanish, and German, books about American history and local towns, etc. In fact, when I was there in November with my friend Adams, I found a Harry Potter novel written in German. It was only twelve dollars so I bought it. I'm planning to go to Odyssey Bookshop this weekend. Maybe they will have something interesting.

Siopa Leabhar A bhFuil Odyssey Bookshop Air I gCroílár South Hadley [in Irish you capitalise the original letter of the word, the eclipsis remains in lower case]

Tá siopa leabhar darb ainm Odyssey Bookshop i gcroílár South Hadley, Massachusetts. Ar nós na siopaí leabhair [leabhar = genitive plural (siopa leabhair = "shop of books"; siopa leabhair would be "a shop of a book")] athláimhe Grey Matter Books agus The Book Mill, is siopa leabhar é inar féidir leabhair shuimiúila [the i drops out here: leathan le leathan] de gach sórt a fheiceáil, mar shampla, leabhair ghramadaí, úrscéalta scríofa i dteangacha ar nós na Fraincise, na Spáinnise, agus na Gearmáinise, leabhair faoi stair Meiriceánach [stair Mheiriceá would be better here: "the history of America"] agus faoi bhailte áitiúla, agus araile [you can also use the abbreviation srl. for agus araile]. Déanta na fírinne, nuair a bhí mé ansin i mí na Samhna le mo chara liom Adams [possessive adjectives aren't exactly equivalent between English and Irish; in Irish the possessive adjective makes the noun definite, so it is more like saying in English "the friend of mine", as if you only have that one friend], chonaic mé úrscéal Harry Potter scríofa i nGearmáinis. Ní raibh ach 12 ndollar air, agus, mar sin, cheannaigh mé é.

Tá fúm dul chuig Odyssey Bookshop an deireadh seachtaine seo. B'fhéidir go mbeidh rud éigin spéisiúil acu.

Iontach maith, a Sheáin! Tá an-dul chun cinn fút, agus gan ach an chorr-earráid. Bulaí fir!

"B'fhéidir go mbeidh rud éigin suimiúil acu" is fine. "Athláimhe" is invariable, it's based on the genitive noun "láimhe" (nominative "lámh" = "hand", like English "second-hand"). The plural of "siopa leabhar" is "siopaí leabhar", "leabhar" remains as it is (i.e. genitive plural "of books").

In "siopaí leabhair athláimhe", I didn't know if athláimhe should change form for the plural as well and I couldn't find it online. Hmmmm.

Is saying "Maybe they will have something interesting" imposing an English phrase and English grammar on Irish? Perhaps there is a more natural sounding way to say this... Hmmm.
