This month is flying by and as I ease into the final week, here’s a round-up of all your fantastic posts from the last seven days. You really have played a blinder this week!

I was focusing on the short story this week and posted reviews of A Run in the Park by David Park and A Literary Woman by Mary Beckett. I also posted a list of the short story collections from Irish writers scheduled for publication in 2023.

It’s great to see some love for Brian Moore and I wouldn’t be surprised if Trespasses by Louise Kennedy turns out to be the most reviewed book of the month!

Thanks again to everyone who has posted so far. As always, if I haven’t linked to your review, let me know in the comments. Can’t believe that next week is the final week – I’ll be looking mostly at non-fiction from Irish authors and chatting about a few that got away this month.
