Recs if you like Land...

These are books that don't rush to impress you. They simmer while the author adds in the layers. They may confuse you or bore you at first - but if you give them time to cook you'll end up with a delicious meal of a book!

Always taking recommendations! If you are recommending a series - the layers need to come together by the end of the first book (not half way through the series).

fiction books about ireland, featuring irish characters, written by irish authors.

A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.

Recommendations are welcome!

Just a list of books coming out in 2026 that I’m really excited for :) it will be updated as the months go by! It will be a mix of: high fantasy, romance fantasy, sci-fi, gothic, horror, lit fic, historical fiction, retellings, poetry, romance, & more!!

partly inspired by toni morrison’s concept of ‘rememory’, where the past haunts the present. these are stories where family ties, friendships, communities, trauma, or physical locations act as threads (or invisible string) to connect characters across distance or time and through generations.

I'm a huge fan of Maisie's music and her newest album Florescence has been playing nonstop since it came out. She's a passionate reader, so over the years many books recommendations have accumulated and I thought it would be cute to make a list out of them. Info taken from her Goodreads and Instagram accounts, newsletter, podcast, and various interviews she did. I will update this list as new recs come up, but if I miss something feel free to suggest it in the comments.

Books (mostly fiction) with relationship to place/natural systems as a major theme. Recommendations welcome!

Inspired by The Office. Named after Pam, Oscar and Toby’s exclusive book club - they gather once a month to “discuss books, art and celebrate culture in a very civilized way”. These are some ideas to use to recreate it with your friends, have food and drinks attuned to the book or the writer’s culture.

All the books in this list are being released in 2026!! Let me know if I missed any! Jesus loves you!!✝️

Just some great Irish books

Fiction books that challenge ideas of power and how power is perpetuated.

Authors are they themselves part of colonial processes.

(What it says on the tin) A list collecting the books I’ve read (or want to read) that have been set in Ireland. 🇮🇪

mainly from Book of the Day, but any NPR podcast counts
