Ten years ago, ‘You Took the Last Bus Home’ was published. It was my first collection of poetry and incredibly, it’s still going strong. To celebrate the anniversary, I thought I’d share a poem from it every day this month, starting with the title poem.
Last One Out by Jane Harper is a poignant, moving portrayal of loyalty and loss in a community hollowed out literally and figuratively by a mining business. One of the best reads this year. 💙📚#booksky see her at @baytales.bsky.social
One of my very favourite reviews of the book, the characters and the series. Thank you, Linda 🧡
Linda Hill@lindasbookbag.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’m delighted to share my review of The Drowning Place by @sarahhilary.bsky.social published by @vintagebooks.bsky.social Harvill lindasbookbag.com/2026/08/18/t...
Hope to see more of these Gardai and more novels set in Ireland. I loved Gleniska Lodge and Vi Naismith. All your characters are so well drawn - even the more minor ones
Jane Casey@janecasey.bsky.social · 2mo agoThank you so much!
It's cover reveal day for The Drowning Place! Huge thanks to Dan Mogford who designed the gorgeous cover, and the whole team at @harvill who have been magnificent. 1 of 2
Wow! Just finished Everything she didn’t say by the incomparable @janecasey.bsky.social I lost count of the number of times I gasped out loud at yet another plot twist. One of the best books I’ve read this year. Characters, setting and what a plot. Just perfection 💙📚

Publication day for The Summer We Lied by Beverley Harvey @BevHarvey_
I'm delighted to wish Beverley Harvey 'Happy Publication Day' on the launch of her latest novel The Summer We Lied, a gripping, twist-filled psychological thriller about friendship, betrayal and the corrosive nature of secrets. This sounds like the perfect beach read, especially as it's set partially in Majorca to bring the summer vibe.

Publication day for What the Ocean Keeps by Laura Wilkinson @ScorpioScribble – with Review.
I'm delighted to wish Laura Wilkinson 'Happy Publication Day' on the launch of her latest novel What the Ocean Keeps. I loved Laura's last novel and was more than happy to read this one to provide a rare review, rather than just a shout out. I wasn't disappointed and I concur with Frances Quinn, (best-selling author of The Lost Passenger) who described it as ‘A compelling, beautifully written and almost unbearably poignant love story that shines a light on the forgotten aftermath of war.’ You can find my full review below.

Today I'm delighted to feature author Chelsea Iversen, who writes novels with a hint of magic. Her latest book, published on 28th July is The Whisper. It's a sweeping, atmospheric thriller following a group of friends seeking justice for their murdered friend. A decade after Quinn's death they come together and follow the rule they ignored - when the trees whisper, listen. It's perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman and Riley Sager's Middle of the Night.

This is my absolute favourite of the Maeve Kerrigan series. I remember opening it and thinking Wow, how clever are you Jane Casey to put those cops undercover
Jane Casey@janecasey.bsky.social · 4mo agoI wrote a book set in a heatwave. If undercover cops pretending to be a couple, suburban murder and a twisty mystery sound appealing, this is for you. Also features a dog called Pippin.
Mary Stewart got me through one long hot summer as a bored teenager. Highly recommend her
Jane Casey@janecasey.bsky.social · 4mo agoMy literary icon Mary Stewart is a 99p Kindle daily deal today. Airs Above the Ground is for you if you love a tightly plotted thriller, Austria, horses, or hot men with hidden depths. Features a great rooftop chase and one bit that makes me go funny. Should have been an Audrey Hepburn film.
It’s my pleasure today to share my review of Ask Me What I’m Reading by Eleanor Goymer out from @harpercollins.bsky.social One More Chapter on 2nd July lindasbookbag.com/2026/06/29/a...

Today, I'm delighted to feature author Tom McAndrew whose debut novel Doocey Half-Sees Whodunnit was published in May. It's a funny whodunnit featuring a scruffy, oddball detective named Doocey, who starts losing his sight just as he’s assigned his first big case. Talk about bad timing! Tom says, “Sight” as a subject matter has always fascinated me and having had my own fair share of sight challenges, I believe it is a subject I can authentically write about. Doocey Half-Sees Whodunnit has been attracting a lot of media attention, and shortly after publication it reached number one bestselling status on Amazon in Ireland.
