The only thing more enjoyable than reading a book, is reviewing a book…
The Irish Times
I have been reviewing books for the Irish Times Ticket supplement since 2019. While a really good story (think Ann Petry, The Street, or Zora Neal Hurson, Their Eyes Were Watching God) gets me giddy, I also love work that explores nature, psychology, health and food.

Inis Magazine
I started reviewing children’s books for Inis Magazine (a publication of Children’s Books Ireland) in 2016 and continue to do so. I review books both in English and Irish. For me, the wackier the better! (I’m also a sucker watercolour illustrations!)
