Well, there we have it. Week 3 of Reading Ireland Month is complete. Where is this month going?

This week I reviewed two collections of short stories Dance Move by Wendy Erskine and Homesickness by Colin Barrett. I also posted an interview with James Doyle of Turnpike Books and shared a post highlighting some great short story collections coming out later this year.

I was also lucky enough this week to see two of Ireland’s most exciting novelists – Conor O’Callaghan and Caoilinn Hughes – in conversation at Seamus Heaney HomePlace. It was fantastic to hear them talking about poetry, how they write novels and what they are planning to write next. (Apologies for the poor quality photo!)

Next week’s prompt is New to my TBR. After over three weeks of Irish-related posts, is there anything that has caught your eye? In a month full of amazing Irish books, which ones have made it onto your TBR? Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book!
