Cathy of 746 Books is hosting the 12th year of Reading Ireland Month, and although I usually participate just a bit by reviewing a book or two by an Irish author, I thought I’d take her suggestion this time and make a post about books by Irish authors I’ve read or reviewed during the last year. So here goes, I think in order of the reading! These are all books read in 2025, so there’s some overlap with last year’s event.
- The Islandman by Tomás O’Crohan
- A Death in Summer by Benjamin Black
- A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride, which was a post for Reading Ireland 2025!
- The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien, which was a post for Reading Ireland 2025!
- Murder at Gulls Nest by Jess Kidd
- Walk the Blue Fields by Claire Keegan
- The Lonely Girl by Edna O’Brien
- Girls in Their Married Bliss by Edna O’Brien
- The Informer by Liam O’Flaherty
- The Darlings of the Asylum by Noel O’Reilly
- What Happened to Nina? by Dervla McTiernan
What? Me Read? 
This is a pretty good list! Love the Edna O’Brien’s and I’ve always meant to read The Informer.
I didn’t really like The Informer that much, but I love Edna O’Brien!
