For the past several years now, Cathy, over at 746books.com has hosted Reading Ireland Month to promote Irish literature and authors. As I enjoy novels with Irish settings, I am only too keen to participate each year.
If you do plan to join Cathy for this event, use the hashtags #ReadingIrelandMonth21 or #begorrathon21
For Reading Ireland Month 2021, as part of March’s TBR, I plan to read SEVEN novels written by Irish authors which I will share with you below. Each novel’s description is a clickable link to Goodreads.
Hop over to Cathy’s blog if you want to participate in this year’s Reading Ireland Month.

Some wonderful books here. Many thanks for the heads-up. Have popped over to Ireland from Wales many times in the past – beautiful country – beautiful people.

I’m so envious Judith. My husband and I were planning a trip to Ireland when Covid hit. Now I feel that perhaps we’ll never get there…

So glad you turned me onto this, Lynne, as I greatly enjoy participating every year. Of course, this year I see we are both working on The Pull of the Stars, tho I’m listening to the audiobook (about half way in- i’ll need to finish for Thursday).

We only have one that we are both reading, The Pull of the Stars. I am also reading a Billy O’Callaghan book, The Dead House. I hope you enjoy the Boatman’s Wife, I liked that one. Have fun and enjoy whatever you read this month.

Oh Carla…. the ending of “The Dead House” has remained vividly in my memory since I read it a few years ago. Just giving you fair warning.

Okay, I will be ready, thanks for letting me know, Lynne. Sandy recommended it to me, so when my library had it, I decided to add it.

Oh my, why didn’t I know about this. I have the pull of the stars on my TBR and I have never been to Ireland (was planning since years to do that in 2020, clearly chose the long year, and now look where I am). Gah, I have a long March TBR already, I am crying.

I’d love to visit Ireland too Pragya. At least you are young enough that you might still get there someday. I’m old and if the world doesn’t return to normal soon, I’m afraid I’ll never get there.

Great choices and thanks for the reminder, I read some excellent Irish books recently, Sara Baume’s Handiwork (creative nonfiction) and her novel Spill Simmer Falter Wither and Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s A Ghost in the Throat and Big Girl Small Town, all great reads! So definitely looking for more recommendations.
