It’s 1 March so time to join me for this, the NINTH annual Reading Ireland Month as I celebrate all that is good about Irish books and culture.

It won’t be any fun without you, so grab the pin and add the link to your blog posts in the comments below, or tag me in your post.  This post will be pinned to the top of my blog for the whole of March and I’ll add your posts as we go along.

This year I am, once again, theming my weeks just to make my planning easier. Feel free to join in with this, or just read what you want, when you want!

Intro Week:    1 – 5 March 

Irish Classics Week: 6 -12 March

Contemporary Irish Week: 13 – 19 March

Short Story Week: 20 – 26 March

Non- Fiction Week: 27 – 31 March
