St. Patrick's Day suggestions?
St. Patrick's Day will soon be here, and so I'm in the mood to read something about Ireland. Any suggestions, both fiction and non-fiction, would be most welcome. Thank you.

For historical fiction, Edward Rutherfurd's "The Princes of Ireland" and "Rebels of Ireland"
And if you want a mystery/romance set in Ireland, then Beatrice Brandon's "The Cliffs of Night" - if you can find it. For urban fantasy set in Dublin, then Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, starting with "Darkfever". Last edited by Xanthe; 03-09-2014 at 02:38 PM. |
