The 52 Book Club: 2025 / 2026 Challenge discussion

March Mini Challenge 1 - Set In Ireland

This can be on top of the 52 Prompts you read, or merged with them!

Here is our Listopia of Set In Ireland suggestions

The book you choose could be either partially or entirely set in Ireland, what are you reading for this?

The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne came up on my search and has great reviews. I’ll go with that one.

The Ruin, The Scholar, The Good Turn - great reads set in Ireland 👍

I am currently reading: (prompt 10-fire) and (prompt 8-900 dewey) both set in Ireland. I am also reading and as it does not fit for any other prompts--that I've found......--will work perfectly for this mini-challenge! Happy!

I read several set in Ireland this month, and forgot to post them here!

I read the first book in the series in February. At least one of these was used for one of the 52 prompts :)

I plan to listen to on audiobook.

Do many options for this prompt. I was toying between two options and decided on Their Heart’s Invisible Furies. I saw someone post that The Guest List took place on an island off of Ireland. I am switching to that one and waiting on Their Heart’s Invisible Furies. Maybe for another prompt.🤔

I think I will be the last one to read The Guest List!

I went with A Man With One Of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell. Amusing crime!

I am reading The Wonder by Emma Donoghue. I can’t put it down!

I just finished reading So Much Owed by Jean Grainger. This book is about WW2 and centered in Ireland. I loved it. 4 stars. I found the title in the list of Ireland books. I have found so many new books to me, that I would never have known about, if not for the comments y'all make and the lists. This book club is a great way to expand my reading. Thank y'all.

I read Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, 2 Stars.

I listened to The Heart’s Invisible Furies
