Happy Literary Friday, My Lovelies! Did March roar in like a Lion or frolic in like a lamb where you live?
We had a little rain and a few storms yesterday, and it's going to be downright cold here in Central Alabama over the weekend.
Today I want to share with you a few of my favorite books set in Ireland.
First I'd like to share a couple of books by Frank Delaney. The individual book covers are affiliate links to IndieBound should you like to purchase them.
Oh, you always mention books I want to read! I don't think I've ever read any by Tana French...they sound good! I thought of Frank McCourt. His first book Angela's Ashes was an all time favorite for me. I'll never forget parts of it! Enjoy your afternoon! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection, RJ. "Shannon" sounds particularly good to me. And I've not read Maeve Binchy but everyone tells me I'd love her!
ReplyDeleteWish I had anyone of these for this weekend. Turning out to be colder than expected so no outdoor activities and yes, March came in with like a lion! Been to Ireland once and maybe a return trip someday. Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have read many books on Michael Collins. Your list sounds like books I will be looking into.

Definitely roaring lion here! I spent a good part of the morning snow blowing our place and neighbors' places, but am I ever grateful for a snowblower. We can't complain much because January and February were dry and warm - which never happens.
ReplyDeleteI have been telling my sister that I want to do a cruise around Ireland and Scotland sometime soon, so these books would be perfect for me! Hooray!
Ooh, I do want to read The Lace Makers of Glenmara! And I've always been curious about Tana French's books. Wonderful post Ricki!
ReplyDeleteSo many books
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see what you are reading! I listen to audio-books, because reading anything more than a short article puts me to sleep. I just downloaded "Simple Courage" and "Tipperary" by Frank Delaney. I have also listened to "In the Woods" by Tana French and really enjoyed it. I've recently found out I am 30% Irish and was completely blown away...had no idea! I have a new view of St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs, Carol
I read one of Maeve Binchy’s books, but I can’t remember the title. Thank you for all your recommendations. Ricki Jill. I do love Rosamunde Pilcher, but hers are set in Scotland. Her characters just draw me in.
