The Irish Independent are promoting one book per week for just under a fiver and a token from the newspaper. Some great books, some not so great but kudos for promoting women writers.

September 22nd Martina Devlin Venus Reborn (too late now too)
September 29th Sinead Moriarty The Baby Trail (I'd like to read this)
October 6th Anne Enright The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch (turgid, unengaging)
October 13th Rose Doyle Shadows will Fall
October 20th Cecelia Ahern Where Rainbows End (does she need any more more - OK jealous)
October 27th Nuala O'Faolain Are you Somebody (bit of a misery memoir and not my cup of tea)
