Well, I was really silly when I listed the books I read by Irish writers, because I searched by Ireland! But all my reading of Irish writers wasn’t set in Ireland. So, here is my original post, revised. The two additional books are listed with both the title and writer’s names in bold!

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
- Long Island by Colm Tóibín
- Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon

I’ve updated the link to this on my master post!
