Well, that’s the opening week of Reading Ireland Month done! I’ve been easing into things this week and doing more planning and reading than posting, but there has still been a lovely buzz in the blogosphere.

This week I shared the Irish Literary News from February and took part in Six Degrees of Separation including only Irish authors!

Lots of you kicked off the month in style and there were some great reviews on blogs and Instagram:

Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far! Next week is Classics Week at 746 Books and I’ll be reviewing my latest William Trevor read for A Year With William Trevor

If you have taken part in Reading Ireland Month and I’ve missed your post, give me a nudge in the comments and I’ll add a link to your review.
