It’s Reading Ireland Month 2021!
It’s 1 March so time to join me for this, the SEVENTH annual Reading Ireland Month as I celebrate all that is good about Irish books and culture in the company of my partner in begorrah – Raging Fluff!
It won’t be any fun without you, so grab the pin and add the link to your blog posts at the linky below. This post will be pinned to the top of my blog for the whole of March
If you need any inspiration, you can check out the Irish Literature tab on my blog, or the Northern Exposure tab which features reviews of some great books by writers from the North of Ireland. You might also find something you like on my list of 100 Irish Novels by Women or 100 Irish Novels
This year, once again, I am theming my posts – you can join in with this schedule if you like, but if you don’t, don’t worry! My reading and reviews will be grouped as follows:
1st – 7th March – Contemporary Irish Novels
8th – 14th March – Classic Irish Novels
15th – 21st March – Irish Short Story Collections
22nd – 28th March – Irish Non-Fiction
There will be giveaways throughout the month and you can join in the conversation on the Begorrathon Facebook page or on Instagram and Twitter with the hashtags #readingirelandmonth21 or #begorrathon21
Don’t forget to check in throughout the month as there will be great interviews, reviews and posts happening every week.
Here’s to a great month of reading, I hope some of you can join me!

Looking forward to your reviews, Cathy!

(Skipping past the GIF as I’m photosensitive!) Thanks for hosting this again, Cathy. I’m hoping to read a William Trevor this month – as you say, he’s always worth reading.

A pleasure Jacqui, and sorry about the gif…

No worries. I know a lot of people love them. Twitter had a setting to enable users to stop gifs and other similar media from playing automatically, which is a real help, but I’ve yet to find something similar for WP and Instagram….
