Book 17
Title: Becoming Dinah
Author: @kitdewaal.com
Rating: ***1/2
Why: it made for a good plane book, not too heavy, but engaging. It grew on me.

Here’s what you’ll be reading in 2026, according to Irish booksellers With new titles due from the likes of Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Colm Tóibín and Donal Ryan, booksellers expect 2026 to be a ‘bumper year’

“When I look at the list of titles that we are looking forward to in 2026, it is remarkable how almost all are Irish,” @kennysbookshop.bsky.social says “...how remarkable it is that an island as small as ours can generate so much talent over so many diverse genres"
