I have a Welsh adjacent post – that is, it is about travelling in Wales by non-Welsh authors – https://bronasbooks.com/2025/03/31/observations-on-the-river-wye-1782-william-gilpin/

I squeezed in a short review of Clear by Carys Davies if you want to add it on:
-
Thanks Cathy, this was a popular choice. I’ve now added to the master list
-

I’m not sure where to link my reviews for Reading Wales – so I hope this is ok. It has taken me most of the month to read the books I chose – one for Reading Ireland and two for Reading Wales! And I’m on the last hours posting my reviews – all long books!
First one for Wales – Resistance by Owen Sheers – https://booksplease.org/2025/03/30/resistance-by-owen-sheers/
The second book is My Beautiful Imperial by Rhiannon Lewis, which I only finished yesterday and I’m still writing my review – link to follow!
-
And here’s my link to My Beautiful Imperial – https://booksplease.org/2025/03/31/my-beautiful-imperial-by-rhiannon-lewis/
Just a short post I’m afraid that doesn’t do justice to the book!
-
Well you’ve done better than I have since I still have two reviews to write!
-
-
I need to make it easier for people when I do this event next year. Anyway, rest assured you’re links will be added to the master list.

Karen/Kaggsy inspired me to read an Ethel Lina White too! https://www.stuckinabook.com/the-spiral-staircase-by-ethel-lina-white-readingwales25/

She can be very persuasive can our Kaggsy!

Poetry and a memoir for me 🙂 https://bookishbeck.com/2025/03/28/reading-wales-month-tishani-doshi-ruth-janette-ruck-readingwales25/

Thanks Rebecca – a memoir of a hill farmer is an unusual choice. Just read your review and was surprised to find there’s a connection between North Wales and North China!

Thanks so much for getting involved Frances. I’m loving the variety of the literature that people are discovering.

Here are my thoughts on some Golden Age Crime from a Welsh author!
