So glad you're joining again! I love The Country Girls - I saw the stage adaption a few years ago and it was wonderful. I listened to House of Names last year on audiobook and quite enjoyed it!

[ElaineHowlin]

I have an audio version of The Country Girls on reserve in the library. Hopefully, it will arrive in time in March. Enjoy your books! So happy you're joining in.

There are sooo many books I have to read for other things in March but I still want to sneak in one Irish book haha. I need to read The Heart's Invisible Furies, it's been on my shelves for ages. I hope you enjoy your reading!

I'm also reading House Of Names for the Irish readathon. I've wanted to read it ever since I read The Oresteia by Aeschylus last year, but I never got to it. I think this will be the only book for this readathon since I have so many books to read in March.

I only plan to read Don't Touch My Hair by Emma Dabiri for the Irish Readathon since I also want to tackle a mammoth for March of the Mammoth. :) Love how you just found one of the Irish Fairy Tale books on the street like it was put there for you. :D

I'm impressed with the number of Irish books you have on your shelves! I read the House of names a couple of years ago with my book club. Normally I love retellings of greek myths but this one didn't really work for me, I didn't really care for any of the characters... Hope that won't be the case for you!

any recommendation on where to start with Colm Tóibín? really wanna get into contemporary Irish literature, since all my favs are long dead
