I have a small stash of Irish books just waiting for something like this; I'm going to read as much as I can in March but I'm sure I'll be reading all year long here and there.
I'm so excited to be participating! Thanks to Books and Movies for hosting

I'm so glad you're joining the challenge! You've got a great list already - and we're planning to do a read-along in March, if you're interested. Not sure which book yet, but it will be decided soon.
Everytime I think I have my challenge schedule for 2011 set, I see something like this! Can a girl named Colleen Mariah Connolly-Ahern resist? Thanks, Marie!
Ooh! This might be the only challenge that I participate in!! I am Irish too and have always wanted to read more about my heritage. Thanks so much for posting this, Marie!
Good luck on your challenge. This is one I wouldn't mind joining but I did swear off challenges for next year.
This sounds like a great challenge, and one I will definitely join in on.
Oh man, my favorite Irish book, this year, was Molly Fox's Birthday. SO good!
Thanks for bringing our attention to this challenge. I have quite a few books that would fit nicely into it so I may just sign up.
I did this one in 2010 - it is great and there is just so much out there in this genre. I will definitely be doing it in 2011. Matchmaker of Kenmare tops my list too!
I'm looking forward to being introduced to all kinds of new books to me from this challenge!
